'Hendre Farmhouse' - Betws yn Rhos, Conwy | In Explore 19.3.2021 | Thank you all!!!
Noticed this 'Distinctive' Abandoned Farmhouse Building yesterday when driving home from my permitted extended 5 mile drive and daily Lockdown Exercise.
You might wonder why the intro...well I was intrigued to learn more, so I returned on foot today and 'Socially Distancing' enquired locally as to its name and history - without success.
So after further Web Research via Wikipedia tonight, I've since discovered the following...It's a Late 16th Century or early 17th Century Grade II Listed Building on the Coed Coch (English - Red Wood) Estate - located 2KM West of the villages of Betws yn Rhos and 0.5KM South of Dolwen.
It's a one-and-a-half storey Farmhouse with whitewashed rubble walls and elevations with a corrugated iron roof said to conceal the remains of a thatched roof.
Sadly the whitewash is in a very poor state. If you enlarge the image you'll see what I mean. Couldn't take any further shots today as not only was the light much poorer but also the Estate's Farmer had moved a large flock of sheep into the field for lambing so I didn't want to cause them distress.
It's surprising just what new and fascinating discoveries are on your doorstep - earlier this year it was a 4,000 year old Yew Tree - now this!
