Henrwst

A small 2-unit 2-storey house, the front range of which is mainly timber framed, with brick rear wing, and a further 2-storey wing projecting on the L side, added in the 1980s, which now forms the main entrance to the house. The older part has renewed coursed sandstone sill below the box framing, in the L gable end of which the original roof pitch is visible. Windows are recent insertions. The gable end has a 2-light windows in each storey. The 2-window front has 2-light windows in the timber-framed section and 3-light windows in the brick section on the R side. The rear wing also has windows in modern openings.

The original plan is uncertain because the rear wing was subsequently rebuilt and later modernised, but the front range comprises 2 unequal rooms with timber-framed partition, suggesting hall and parlour. Integral with the partition is a truss with crown and queen posts. The timber framing of the rear wall of the original house survives internally. On its L side is a gable proving the existence of an original rear wing. Like the front range, it also incorporates evidence of heightening to 2 storeys, and it has a collar-beam truss.
