Description

West View House, originally known as 29, is a house that has been converted into two dwellings, a shop, and a public house. It dates back to around 1600, with parts rebuilt around 1700, and has undergone alterations in the early 19th century and 20th century. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a steeply pitched black glazed pantiled roof. It features a three-cell cross passage plan, with a hall and service bays that have been rebuilt. The building is two storeys high with an attic.

The entrance is located to the right, leading into the service bay, and features a six raised panelled architraved door with a four-light fanlight above it. There is a projecting cornice supported by shaped brackets. To the right, there is a large 19th-century 24-pane architraved shop window, while to the left and above are two and three-light glazing bar casements. The eaves have a cornice, and there are three gabled dormers with two lights each. An axial ridge stack is positioned to the left between the hall and parlour, with an external stack added to the service end that has offsets. The entrance at the parlour end also has shaped brackets supporting the plates.

At the rear, there are lean-to outshuts, with 18th-century brickwork in the centre that projects further. An entrance is located to the left, featuring an early three-light leaded casement window. Inside, the parlour showcases close studding with a mid-rail, a stop-chamfered axial binding beam, and joists. The parlour chamber has a four-light diamond mullioned window opening, and the roof features lower butt and upper clasped purlins with cranked collars, halved principals, and reverse cranked windbraces. The later bays have thin scantling to the exposed frame, with through tension bracing, ogee stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams, and run-out chamfered joists. This building was formerly known as the Prince of Wales Public House.
