Cruck Barn at Hendre with attached Cowshed at west

The Cruck Barn at Hendre, dating from the 18th century, is constructed from local slatey rubble stonework and features a slate roof that has been partly repaired with corrugated sheeting, topped with a tile ridge. On the north-east side, which faces the farmyard, remnants of a large barn door can still be seen, along with a section of timber framing at loft level that includes a pitching door. The south-west side lacks a corresponding barn door, and the stonework shows significant signs of alteration. The north-west gable, facing the farmhouse, has slit ventilators and a door, while the south-east gable features one slit ventilator and two later windows. Attached to the west side is a later cowshed built from irregularly coursed gritstone, also with a slate roof and tile ridge. This cowshed has a hayloft opening above, two doors, and two windows below. An earlier cowshed to the east is in ruins but does not significantly impact the cruck barn.

Internally, the barn has a three-bay layout measuring approximately 3.6 meters, 4.2 meters, and 3.6 meters in length, with a width of about 4.6 meters, featuring a central threshing floor. The cruck frames extend down to the floor level and include a tie beam, collar, and two vertical struts. The apex of the cruck is butt-jointed along a vertical line (Alcock's type B) with a small ridge piece. There are two purlins on each side, with the lower ones supported by pieces on the backs of the blades, and the feet of these pieces framed into projecting spurs. The purlins are roughly scarfed or lapped, and part of one purlin was removed to accommodate the addition of the cowshed to the west, which also connects to the barn's loft.

Internally, the barn retains pulleys, shafting, and other equipment associated with the Pelton wheel.
