Description
Henllys is a grade II* listed building featuring colourwashed roughcast and two parallel low-pitched slate roofs with four rendered end stacks. The structure is two storeys high and has a five-window long east front with flat boarded eaves. Originally, there were dormers in the front roof. The windows consist of hornless 9-pane sashes on the upper level and 12-pane sashes below, with a tall half-glazed door at the centre, set within a large earlier 19th-century Doric porch. This porch has paired 20th-century stucco columns, which replaced the original timber, and features a Greek cornice adorned with triglyphs and mutules. The north end of the building has bargeboards and one window on the first floor, while the south end includes a single-storey addition with a hipped roof. The rear of the building, likely constructed in two parts, has 12-pane sashes, with the second bay arranged at mid-heights for stair lights. There are doors located between the first and second window ranges, as well as between the third and fourth.
Inside, the building showcases earlier 19th-century plasterwork, featuring a square hall and an elliptical arch leading to an inner hall, which also has a similar arch leading north to the stair hall. The room to the right of the entry has been opened up by two simpler arches into the stair hall and two similar arches leading to the stair hall. The piers are decorated with slightly Gothic plaster mouldings, and the cornices include dentils and roundels. The inner hall features a west apsed recess. A dog-leg stick baluster stair, possibly partly from the 18th century, is present, along with panelled shutters and six-panel doors. Within the roof, remnants of a steeper pitched 17th-century or earlier 18th-century stone-tiled roof can be found.
