Description
West House is an early 19th-century house built of white brick with a hipped skate roof and clipped eaves. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring two flat-headed dormers on the north slope of the roof. The first floor includes three small-paned sash windows with reveals and gauged brick heads. On the ground floor, there are two French windows with transoms and margin-pane glazing flanking a central half-glazed entrance door, which is sheltered by a Doric portico with a metope frieze. The south, or garden front, has similar sash windows and a single-storey flat-roofed semi-circular bay with three small-paned French windows. At the rear, there is a small 1½-storey wing that is partly constructed of red brick. Inside, the house features six-panelled doors with sunk panels and panelled linings, semi-circular arched recesses, and a geometrical staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
