Description
5C and 5E West Hall Manor Cottages are two cottages that were originally part of a manor house, dating from the mid-17th century. They are constructed of rubble carstone with brick dressings and feature red pantiled roofs. The buildings are two stories tall with attics and consist of two sections, marked by a straight joint and a roof parapet. This structure may have been the Manor House of West Hall Manor, which later served as a workhouse before becoming cottages.
No. 5(C) has six ground-floor casements with glazing bars, including a two-light fire window and a four-light window to the south, and two two-light casements and one single light casement to the north. There are four first-floor casements with glazing bars. The cottage has 20th-century porch additions on the ground floor. The steeply pitched roof has swept eaves and features four 20th-century two-light flat-roofed casements. The north and south end gable parapets are raised brick, with a stack on the south end.
No. 5(E) to the north includes one ground-floor single light and one three-light casement, along with two first-floor two-light casements. At the rear of No. 5(C), there is a first-floor addition with a brick Dutch gable from around 1700, which has a rebuilt apex stack, indicating that the house still had a socially prestigious use at that time.
Inside, the cottages feature stopped and chamfered ground floor beams and a butt-purlin roof with some wind bracing.
