Henglyn Isaf

Henglyn Isaf is a farmhouse constructed from rubble stone, which was once color washed, and features a thatched roof covered with corrugated iron. The building has rendered end stacks and is one storey with an attic. It has a double front with originally two small-paned casement-pair windows, one on each side of the central door. However, the right window has been lost after the collapse of the wall face, which was later rebuilt. The left window is fixed and has a straight joint to the ground on the right, suggesting it may have been altered from a door. The central door is made of boards and is topped with timber lintels.

The left end wall was rebuilt in the late 19th century or early 20th century, removing the original kitchen chimney. This end wall now features a brick-framed four-pane sash window on each floor to the left of the chimney, while the right end is windowless. At the rear left, there is a small lean-to outbuilding that is whitewashed and retains a remnant of a stone-tiled roof. This outbuilding has one window at the rear and a small light on the right side wall.

Inside, the layout follows a central passage plan with a former parlour on the right and a kitchen on the left. The hall features stone flags and 19th-century plank partitions. The parlour includes a fireplace from around the 1930s and one beam that is deeper and thinner than those found elsewhere, with no joists supporting the floorboards above. A splayed reveal of a blocked front window is visible. There are two additional beams on the partitions and one in the kitchen. A thin pine beam from the 19th century marks the line of the former kitchen chimney breast, which is also evident in the stone floor flags. Access to the loft is provided by a ladder stair at the rear of the hall, next to the rear door leading into the lean-to. The loft contains three small rooms, with two roof trusses built into the partitions, likely over the ground floor beams, indicating they are probably tie-beam trusses, although the collars are not visible. A third truss over the kitchen dates from the 19th century or early 20th century, likely inserted when the old chimney was removed. The heavy rough oak rafters support the thatch.
