Description
Nos 215 and 216 West End is a house that has been divided into two separate residences, with origins dating back to the 17th century. The exterior features pebbledash render over a timber frame and a clay tile roof. The building is L-shaped, comprising one storey and attics, with the rear block being slightly taller than the front. There is a variety of 20th-century casement windows, and a gabled dormer is present on the east elevation of the front block. The north elevation of the rear block has two plank doors, and there is a 20th-century lean-to porch on the east elevation of the front block. Each block has one red brick ridge stack, and there is an integral red brick stack on the west gable end. Additionally, there is a one-storey addition on the east gable end, which features a hipped weatherboarded addition to the east of this.
