Description
West Parkgate Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1620, with a second gable front added later in the 17th century and modernised with additions in 1950. It is constructed from coursed buff sandstone rubble with pink sandstone dressings and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof with a central stone chimney. The original layout included a baffle entry with a parlour wing to the left and two rooms to the right.
The building is two stories high and has a nearly symmetrical four-bay front, with stone-coped end gables that project slightly forward. The right end bay contains five-light splayed stone mullions in both storeys, along with a blocked semi-circular headed light above. The left end bay is similar but has two single-light windows below and a date in the gable light. The central bays feature a five-light window below and a four-light window above, along with a blocked entrance.
Inside, the room partitions are timber framed with lath and daub infill. The fireplace in the parlour and the room above has bevelled openings, and at the rear of the stack, there are remains of a brick oven and a spice cupboard with early 18th-century moulded panelled doors. The lower storey has ovolo moulded beams, and the roof reveals a simple kingpost truss and a diagonally strutted truss.
