West House is an 18th-century building with alterations, featuring a late 18th or early 19th-century front made of yellow brick and standing three stories tall. It has five sash windows, including blank panels where windows would typically be. The south-facing garden front, dating from the late 19th century, has large gray brick bay projections and is two stories with an attic. Inside, there is a central staircase with arches at both the top and bottom, adorned with a moulded key, and six-panel doors with drop handles.
