Description
Hendre is a two-storey, two-window house with a lobby entrance located at the right end. It is built of white-washed rubble stone and features an old slate roof with stone end stacks. The entrance has a boarded door with a small light beneath an open gabled porch made of slates and reused timbers. Around the year 2000, new small-pane wooden windows with casements and fan-lights were added, matching the number of lights seen in a photograph from around 1900. The windows on the left side are two-light, while those on the right side are three-light, with the lower storey windows having lintels made of reused timber and the upper storey windows positioned directly under the eaves. The rear elevation also has two windows, with two-light windows on the left and three-light windows on the right.
Adjoining the right end is a single-storey unit without a butt joint, featuring a two-light window at the front and another at the rear. The gable end has a glazed door at loft level that opens onto an iron balcony, and there is a slate tablet at the gable apex reading 'Hendre' and possibly a date. The unit on the left end has been converted into a garage, with large boarded double doors at the front and no openings at the rear, along with a perspex lean-to against the east end.
Inside, the lobby entrance leads into a hall that features a large stone fireplace with a slightly cambered timber lintel. To the left side is a winding timber staircase with a moulded handrail that projects over a tapering newel post; the balusters are likely renewed. Opposite the fireplace is a post-and-panel partition with bead and reed mouldings along the edges of the posts, and a boarded door on its left side. The ceiling has two medium-chamfered spine beams with ogee stops, and the floor is made of flagstones. The partition doorway leads into the kitchen, which was originally a parlour and dairy. The parlour had a smaller fireplace that is now blocked by a cooker and features plain joists in the ceiling. The former bakehouse, located to the right of the entrance, has been converted into a shower room. The upper storey is ceiled, making the roof beams not visible, and there are good boarded oak doors throughout.
