Former garage/workshop block to N of the main house at The Hendre

This is a former garage and workshop block, built in the early 20th century as part of The Hendre estate. The building is designed in a simple Arts-and-Crafts style and has a trapezoidal plan with a central yard. It is constructed of red brick with close-studded detailing and slate roofs, and includes skylight glazing. The main ranges run along the north and west sides, with a windowed screen wall on the east, a turreted block projecting at the southeast corner, and a flat-roofed, diagonal entrance front connecting the turret to the south gable of the west range.

The symmetrical entrance front features a full-height square opening, now closed by a 6-panelled wooden screen with a central doorway flanked by 4-pane windows, and segmental-headed cross-windows on either side. A prominent moulded wooden cornice runs around the entire building. The turreted block mimics the belfry stage of local churches with a cross-window in its south wall and a pyramid-roofed turret. The east return wall of the turret contains an extruded chimney stack with diagonal shafts, and a flat-roofed rear extension with a cross-window. The west gable of the west range has two rectangular windows with altered glazing flanking a bricked-up square opening, possibly a former garage doorway. Decorated rainwater hoppers bearing the date 1904 are located at each corner, and the gable is close-studded. A lantern-bellcote with small 3-light square latticed glazing is situated on the ridge, along with an octagonal arcaded bellcote with a domed roof and a weathervane finial. The west side of this range originally had four large square windows, but two towards the rear have been bricked up (with a modern doorway inserted into one) and the others have altered glazing. A small flat-roofed porch is located at the rear corner, above which is the close-studded gable-end of the north range. The east side of the building features a close-studded gable on the north range, below which is a transomed 4-light window with small-paned glazing. A dated rainwater hopper is located to the left of this window, followed by a screen wall with four tall segmental-headed French windows; the first is now a modern glazed door, while the others have small-paned glazing and overlights. The building has been remodelled at some point.
