Description
West End House is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick, coursed rubble, and timber framing, and is rendered and colourwashed. The building features gabled slate roofs, with rubble and rendered plinths and coped gables. There is one gable and one ridge stack. The house has two storeys, plus attics, and consists of three bays, following a baffle entry plan with a cross wing.
The main south front includes, on the left, a hipped porch with a 20th-century door and overlight. To the right, there is a canted bay window from the mid-19th century, flanked by a casement window on the left and a leaded casement on the right. Above this bay, there are three casements, with a smaller casement to the right. The return angle to the right has a casement window. The west gable features a glazing bar sash to the right, with single casements above to the left and right. The east gable has irregular fenestration from the 19th and late 20th centuries.
The rear elevation has a gabled wing to the left, with a mid-19th century brick lean-to addition that has a plain tile roof. To the right, there is a gabled stair turret, flanked by mid-20th century flat-roofed additions, with three 20th-century casements on each floor.
Inside, at the east end, there are substantial remains of a stud wall supported by chamfered bressummers and an inserted post. There is a timber mullioned window with a timber lintel, a 17th-century dogleg stair with intermediate landings, square newels, a moulded handrail, and remains of an intermediate rail, along with early 19th-century stick balusters. The principal rooms feature chamfered span beams with stops, a single chamfered fireplace bressummer, and a single purlin roof with reused rafters. There are six early and mid-18th century plank doors, five early 19th-century panelled doors, a 19th-century fitted cupboard, and a pair of early 19th-century round-headed glazed cupboard doors. This building was used as a school in the early 20th century.
