Description

West Edmondsley Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1751, as indicated on the door lintel, with late 19th-century additions at the rear. It is constructed of coursed rubble, with the front featuring painted roughcast, a Welsh slate roof, and rebuilt brick chimney stacks.

The front of the farmhouse is continuous and two stories high, consisting of three bays with a wide right bay that may have been a former byre. The central entrance features a partly-glazed door with four flush panels, set within a chamfered stone doorway. The lintel above the door is inscribed with "G.W. 1751," and there is a gabled stone hood supported by brackets. The windows are 16-pane sashes with flush lintels and projecting sills, and the first-floor windows are positioned just beneath the eaves. The steeply-pitched roof has raised verges and reverse-stepped gables, with end stacks and a ridge stack located to the right.

At the rear, there is a range of two builds: a two-story, three-bay section with 12-pane sashes on the left and a single-storey outshut on the right. A lean-to on the right return of the front range is noted as not being of special interest.
