Description
Henrwst is a small two-unit, two-storey house. The front part of the house is mainly timber framed, while the rear wing is built of brick. There is also a two-storey wing on the left side that was added in the 1980s, which now serves as the main entrance to the house. The older section features a renewed coursed sandstone sill below the box framing, and the original roof pitch can be seen in the left gable end. The windows in this part are recent insertions. The gable end has two-light windows on each storey. The front, which has two windows, includes two-light windows in the timber-framed section and three-light windows in the brick section on the right side. The rear wing also has windows in modern openings.
The original layout of the house is unclear due to the rebuilding and later modernization of the rear wing. However, the front range consists of two unequal rooms separated by a timber-framed partition, indicating a hall and parlour arrangement. An integral truss with crown and queen posts is part of this partition. The timber framing of the rear wall of the original house is still visible from the inside. On the left side, there is a gable that indicates the existence of an original rear wing. Similar to the front range, this section also shows evidence of being raised to two storeys and features a collar-beam truss.
