Small Barn at Hendre

The small barn at Hendre is a 19th-century structure that is oriented across the slope of the land, similar to the nearby house. It consists of four bays, as indicated by its internal framework, and is single-storeyed with an under-storey at the lower end due to the sloping site. The rear (north) elevation features rubble, while the upper and lower bays have dressed granite quoins, likely sourced from the nearby Hendre quarry which opened around 1890. The central section is timber-framed but concealed by Yorkshire boarding. The roof is made of Ffestiniog slate.

Facing the yard, the barn has a small doorway, known as the winnowing door, located to the left of the central bay and accessed by steps, along with a stone-built bay to its left. The central section has modern cladding, with a doorway and a single window in the upper bay. The north elevation features wide doors leading to the threshing floor, and earthenware pipes are used as vents.

Inside, the barn showcases a fine example of a partially timber-framed structure with heavy tie-beam trusses of two different types: the lower gable end and upper truss are of the queen post and collar type, while the other two trusses include raking struts. The central section of the front wall is timber-framed in square panels, retaining peg-holes and grooves for wattlework in the rails. The rear wall is primarily stone-built, but two timber posts remain on either side of the main doorway. The barn also features a slate threshing floor.
