Description

Hendy is a large building dating from the 18th century, located at 32 and 34 Clwyd Street, which form a group. It features a prominent five-window range with a central gabled porch wing, standing two storeys tall with attics. The exterior is roughcast over timber-framing on a plinth, topped with a slate roof that has a central clustered brick stack. The west gable end is constructed of random stone and also has a brick stack. On either side of the porch wing, there are high gabled attic dormers that include small triangular iron-glazed windows and scalloped barge boards. The rear, which is partially visible, is roughcast and has three gabled wings; the central wing likely dates from the 19th century, while the flanking wings are from the late 20th century.

Number 32 consists of the former porch wing and the right-hand part of the main range. The porch wing has a lower ridge height and features close-studded timber framing at the ground floor, with two small square windows that have quarries. The first floor is square-panelled and includes a tall wooden cross-window, with diamond framing in the gable. On the right-hand return of the porch wing, there is a two-light casement window with quarries, though the original door position is unknown. The two-window main range has an entrance at the angle with the former porch wing, which is sheltered by a slated porch canopy that is hipped to the right end and supported by a timber post. Inside, there are two mid to late 20th-century small-pane glazed doors, each with an inner sidelight. The windows are three-light wooden casements with quarries, with the window above the lean-to porch being smaller. The rear features a central two-storey gabled wing, possibly from the 19th century, which has a large tripartite window on each storey and a recessed roundel in the gable. There is also a further gabled wing to the far left, likely from the late 20th century. The interior has not been seen.
