Description

Hen Rake is a two-storey, double-fronted house dating from the 18th century, featuring roughcast walls over stone and a slate roof. The house has rendered rectangular stacks at both ends of the main range and at the rear wing. It faces southeast and includes a central doorway with a panelled door that is partially glazed, sheltered by a modern gabled porch. The windows are 16-pane hornless sashes, with the upper-storey windows positioned beneath the eaves and the lower-storey windows featuring cambered heads.

On the southwest side, the rear wing has a two-window elevation with 16-pane sash windows, the right window being larger. A lean-to porch or conservatory obscures the lower right window. On the northeast side, where a former cartshed has been incorporated into the house, there are sash windows on the upper storey, a two-light small-pane casement window on the lower left, and two inserted mid-20th century windows on the lower right.

The garden in front of the house and the yard to the southwest are enclosed by stone walls. Inside, the entrance hall features a main stair with a swept handrail, stick balusters, and a tapering newel. Most rooms retain panelled window shutters, and the front doors are six-panelled. The principal rooms and bedrooms have 19th-century fireplaces, while one ground-floor door is a simple boarded door with hand-forged ironwork. A second service stair is located near the rear kitchen, with boarded partitioning. The arrangement of doors in the rear of the house indicates a late 19th or early 20th-century reordering of this area. The ground-floor front room to the north of the entrance hall has arched recesses flanking the chimney, and the front bedroom to the south features built-in panelled cupboards.
