Description
West Lexham Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1800. It features a main wing made of gault brick and a service wing constructed from brick and flint, all topped with black pantile roofs. The building has a T-shaped plan and is two storeys tall with a three-bay facade that includes sash windows with glazing bars set beneath skewback arches. The taller ground floor windows extend from ground level. The front door has a glazed upper panel and is flanked by narrow margin lights, topped with an elegant semicircular traceried fanlight. The porch has a simple entablature and cornice supported by pilasters, though the original columns have been replaced with simple metal supports. There is a stone platband and a moulded brick cornice featuring dentils, along with a parapet and a hipped roof. The service wing at the rear has six bays of sash windows with glazing bars beneath skewback arches on the first floor, while the ground floor has modern replacements, including one surviving late 19th-century tripartite sash window.
