Description
The building is the ruins of a medieval hall-house dating from around 1450, located at Hendy Farm. It is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and has a corrugated asbestos roof. The eastern front features an external stone quarter-turn stair that leads to the entrance doorway of the former screens passage. This doorway has a two-centred arch with a chamfered ashlar surround and a 20th-century boarded door. The former ground-floor windows to the hall on the right and the service room on the left are blocked but still have their timber lintels intact. On the far right, there is a curved ruined wall of the solar cross-wing, which includes the base of a projecting gable stack. On the far left, there is a single-storey dairy with a lower roof-line. The ground floor of the dairy features a 17th-century four-light diamond mullion window with an angled dripstone on the left and a plank and batten door with strap hinges on the right.
The garden front faces west, where the principal feature of interest is the blocked entrance doorway to the former screens passage, which also has a two-centred arched door. To the right of this doorway is a small chamfered blocked window opening. The southern gable includes a former entrance doorway on the left, the tiered base of a projecting gable stack in the center, and the west wall of the dairy on the right.
The building has been reroofed with 20th-century trusses, and the only internal feature that survives from the former hall-house is a single 17th-century chamfered ceiling beam.
