Description
West Hall Farm House is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th century or around 1600 on the east side, with refenestration and additions made around 1800 to the west. The earlier part of the house is constructed from carstone with brick dressings, while the 1800 addition is made of brick, both featuring red pantiled roofs. The structure is two storeys high, with the earlier build partly incorporated in the center alongside the 1800 addition, which has six regular bays.
The 1800 section includes four ground floor and five first floor sash windows with glazing bars. There are two bays to the west under rubbed brick arches, and three bays to the east inserted into the carstone wall. The ground floor features one surviving chamfered brick dressed casement window from around 1600 with three lights, along with one blocked ground floor window and two blocked first floor windows from the earlier period. The central entrance, dating from around 1900, has a door with a rectangular fanlight.
To the east, the earlier house has an outshut roof that is lower than the eaves of the 1800 roof, featuring one blocked ground floor window dressed in brick from around 1600, a lean-to greenhouse from the 20th century, and a flat-roofed half-dormer from the 20th century. On the return to the west, there is a six-panel raised and fielded door from around 1800, which has a swept lead roofed canopy with valances, supported by turned cast iron uprights and adorned with cast iron pierced panels featuring anthemion and other Greek Revival motifs.
The roof is steeply pitched, with the earlier build having a three-shaft octagonal brick stack from around 1600, and the 1800 addition featuring one axial stack and one stack on the west gable. To the north, there are outshut additions that are two storeys high on the west and single storey on the east. Attached to the west gable is a lean-to brick wall with a swept parapet, built over the adjacent stream, which includes an arch forming a watergate.
