Hendre

A 2-storey 2-window house with lobby-entrance to R end, constructed of white-washed rubble stone under an old slate roof with stone end stacks. The entrance contains a boarded door with small light under an open gabled porch, constructed of slates and reused timbers. New small-pane wooden windows with casements and fan-lights were inserted c2000, the number of lights matching those in the photo of c1900. The windows are 2-light to L and 3-light to R, those to lower storey with lintels of reused timber, those to upper storey immediately under the eaves. The rear elevation is also 2-window, with 2-light windows to L and 3-light windows to R.

Single-storey unit adjoining R end with no butt joint. It has a 2-light window to front, and also to rear. To gable end is a glazed door at loft level leading out to an iron balcony; slate tablet to gable apex, reading 'Hendre' and possibly a date. Unit adjoining L end is now a garage with large boarded double doors to front; no openings to rear; perspex lean-to against E end.

The lobby-entrance leads into the hall which has a large stone fireplace with slightly cambered timber lintel. Winding timber staircase on its L side with moulded handrail which projects over a tapering newel post; the balusters are probably renewed. Opposite the fireplace is a post-and-panel partition with bead and reed mouldings to the edges of the posts; boarded door on its L side. Ceiling has 2 medium-chamfered spine beams with ogee stops; flagstone floor. The partition doorway leads into the kitchen, originally parlour and dairy. The parlour had a smaller fireplace, now blocked by a cooker, and has plain joists to the ceiling. The former bakehouse, to the R of the entrance, is now a shower room. The upper storey is ceiled and the roof beams are not visible; good boarded oak doors.
