West Court

West Court is a large house situated by the River Thames, built in 1899 by William West Nev for his own residence. The exterior is a mix of brick, painted roughcast, and decorative tile hanging, topped by an old tile hipped roof. The building is rectangular in plan, with a belvedere projecting from the south-east corner. It has two storeys and attics, and features several chimneys with offset heads and clay pots. The windows are a mix of casements and mullioned and transomed styles, all with square leading.

The east front, which faces the river, has an irregular facade. The belvedere is on the left side and rises three floors, topped with an open balcony featuring wooden balustrading, under a steeply pitched octagonal roof with a weathervane. The central section features two dormers; the left one has a flat roof and a six-light window, and the right one has two gablets, a glazed door to a balcony, flanked by four- and three-light windows. Below this is a two-storey square bay window of six lights on each level, divided by an apron of false timbering in a herring-bone pattern. A recessed balcony is on the first floor to the right of the bay window, positioned over a projecting window and a garden door with a lean-to roof. To the left of the bay window, there are two bays of large mullioned and transomed windows, separated by brick panels with balconies and wrought iron railings above. Two pairs of glazed doors and flanking casement windows provide access to balconies. To the left of this is a small covered terrace with wooden balustrading, and to the right, a one-bay gable with false timbering in the apex, incorporating a large six-light cant bay window on the first floor and a six-light window below, centered with a pair of glazed doors.

The west (entrance) front is plainer, with an entrance door on the right, set within an enclosed porch formed by the continuation of the roof slope from a gable. The interior is largely intact, featuring elaborate carved panelling and a decorative chimney piece in the dining room.
