West Middleton Farmhouse

The property is a farmhouse, dating to the late 17th century. It likely incorporates earlier fabric, with a rear wing extended in the 18th century. The roof was renewed and the eaves raised in 1952. The farmhouse is constructed of rubble with cut stone dressings, and has a 20th-century red tile roof with some rebuilt brick stacks. Some areas retain original stone slates.

The main part of the house is a double-span structure consisting of three storeys and five bays. It has rusticated quoins. A 20th-century glazed door is set in an architrave with a broken pediment; it is centrally positioned. To the left of the door are traces of blocked openings, and to the right are two windows. The ground floor windows are 16-pane casements in architraves. The first floor has a keyed oval panel in the centre, flanked by two windows on each side. The second floor has a central 6-pane casement between 12-pane casements; the jambs and sills of these windows were re-set following the raising of the wall in 1952. The gables are coped with moulded kneelers, and the end stacks have been rebuilt on old bases. Set back to the right is a single-storey bay with a boarded door and a small chamfered window.

The left return has a 20th-century porch and a 12-pane casement window above a 4-pane sash window. Two small stone-surround windows are visible on the right return. The rear elevation is divided into two sections; the earlier right part has a chamfered ground-floor window, a 16-pane sash, and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash window, which was originally part of a two-light mullioned stair window. The 18th-century left part has three stone-surround windows and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash. Stepped-and-corniced end stacks are present on the rear span.

Inside the 20th-century porch is a stone-surround doorway. An older blocked door on the right is reused, featuring an earlier lintel with triple pointed arches concealing a panel bearing a partly cut-away date, "H? 163(?)" and initials "I A," masked by a later oval overlight. A ground-floor room on the west side has a fireplace set in an architrave under a moulded cornice, which was re-set from a bedroom above, and a similar, smaller fireplace is present in the east bedroom. The interior also contains old chamfered beams. A dog-leg closed-string staircase with twist balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels with knob finials is also situated within the property.

A 20th-century shed to the east and a 20th-century porch to the west are not considered to be of interest.
