Description

Hendomen Farmhouse is a farmhouse featuring red brick walls, which were modernized with textured rendering in 1981. The front elevation has four window bays, framed by plain pilasters on the outer bays, and brick dentil eaves that also have modern rendering. The roof is covered with slates on the front pitch and modern plaintile on the rear pitch, with red brick stacks at each gable.

On the ground floor, there is a mid-19th century or earlier three-light canted bay window with sash lights that include glazing bars, flanked by a fascia and cornice on either side of a central doorway. This doorway, dating from the early to mid-19th century, features panelled pilasters and a half-glazed door with three panes wide and three deep. A former 19th-century iron trellised porch, noted in the Provisional List of 1949, has been replaced by a 20th-century glazed porch. The first floor has flat-arched sash windows, three panes wide and four deep in each outer bay, and cambered-headed sash windows, three panes wide and deep, in each inner bay.

The rear elevation includes a 19th-century half-glazed door with small glazed panels. The west elevation of the rear wing has a 19th-century three-light casement window with a transom on the first floor, while the ground floor features a sash window with vertical glazing bars only. There is an altered porch, likely from the early 20th century, to the right of a half-glazed four-panel door. The east elevation has a gabled stone extension with windows above and below in the eastern half of the gable.

Inside, the entrance hall has a chamfered beam, a 19th-century tiled floor, and earlier 19th-century six-panel doors in the reveals. There is an earlier 19th-century staircase with straight balusters beneath a glazed cupola. The left-hand ground floor room features a cased ceiling beam, while the right-hand room has a square ceiling beam. Throughout the house, there are six-panelled doors and an old ledged door with cover strips on the first floor.
