Hendra Vach
you should be looking for "Hendre Fach" it is pronounced as you have written it.
Hen = old
Tre(f) = town
Bach = little
"T" mutates to "D" and the "F" is often dropped in speech and then in writing.
Then "B" mutatates to "F"
so literally you have "little old town"
but the real meaning in English is "Old Farmhouse"
