Henrhiw Farmhouse

Henrhiw Farmhouse is a farmhouse, originally dating back to the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The main block is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble, though the front is rendered. The rear wing incorporates sandstone and red brick. All roofs are covered in Welsh slate.

The main block is two storeys and has attics, while the rear wing is one storey with attics, although an extension has raised the height of the rear wing to match the front range. The front elevation has four windows, which are not evenly spaced. The original iron-studded plank door, complete with strap hinges and a moulded surround, is situated where the second window from the left would have been. The windows are modern replacements with a cross-framed casement design. The roof has a slight bell-cast, incorporating iron brackets, two gabled dormers with cross-framed casement windows (also replacements), and two flued brick stacks to the right gable. This gable is blind, but a single-storey wing, likely a Victorian dairy, is attached to it. The left gable features a ground-floor cross-framed casement window and is otherwise blind, as is a small rear wing.

The rear elevation includes a two-pane sash window on the ground floor left, with the remaining wall largely obscured by a small extension built of stone at the base and brick above, with a window on each floor. The roof angle of this wing has an additional slope, possibly indicating the original stair position. A rear wing projects in two sections, with the outer section dating to the 1990s. The north-west elevation has three windows and two doors on the ground floor, topped by four gabled half dormers, all dating to the 1990s. The south-east elevation displays three windows below—a two-light casement to the left and two cross-framed casements to the right—with three dormers above, all part of the earlier alterations. Brick stacks are located at each end of the ridge.

The interior was altered significantly in the mid to late 19th century and again in the 1990s. A Victorian staircase with elaborate turned balusters, a closed string, and a straight flight is in the entrance hall. A 17th-century staircase was likely located at the rear, but no trace of it remains. Rooms have been replastered, but some 17th-century beams survive, along with one altered fireplace featuring a massive, cracked lintel. Most doors are Victorian or modern, with one 17th-century moulded doorway with a four-centred head leading to the boiler room. The Victorian dairy wing has a king-post roof. The main block has five A-frame trusses with staggered purlins, all pegged. One upper floor beam has run-out stops. The original part of the rear wing has a principal rafter roof with staggered purlins, while the extension includes new oak trusses.
