Description
West Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It features a rendered timber frame with colourwashed brick and a flint gable-end on the main block, while a later wing is constructed in colourwashed brick. The roofs are covered with pantiles. The building has a lobby-entrance type plan with a later extension forming an L shape. The main block is two storeys high and has four 2-light casement windows and one sash window on the ground floor, along with a modern off-centre porch. On the first floor, there are four 2-light casement windows. There is an off-centre axial stack with four rebuilt shafts and a later gable-end stack.
The extension, built around 1800, is also two storeys tall. The ground floor features two sash windows with glazing bars set beneath segmental arches, along with a part glazed panelled door that is topped by a gabled hood on brackets. The first floor has two 2-light casement windows with glazing bars, and there is a dentil cornice and a gable-end stack.
