West Green House

West Green House is an early 18th-century mansion with later 18th-century alterations, situated in Hartley Wintney. It is planned around a central, top-lit staircase. The west front is an original symmetrical facade with three dormers and five ground-floor windows. The first floor is marked by five roundel recesses containing busts, believed to be of Bacchus and four Roman emperors. A blank upper wall conceals a full-height saloon. The red-tiled hipped roof incorporates dormers with gabled cornices, retaining old casements. A modillion cornice runs along the top, with stone vases at each end. The brickwork is red, in a Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches, stone cills, and a plinth. Sashes are present throughout. A central French door has a stone frame with quoins. High brick walls extend at each end, pierced by four arched openings framed in rusticated brickwork and filled with wrought-iron railings.

The north elevation features original wings of one bay, with a centrally projecting section, a later 18th-century alteration in a Gothick style, including a half-octagon. The upper fenestration is arranged 1:2:1:2:1 on the upper floor and roundel 2:3:2 on the lower. The roof is red-tiled and hipped, with flat-roofed dormers. A modillion cornice above the wings is punctuated by vases at each end, while the main part has a castellated parapet with recessed panels, as well as bands marking the second and first floors. Wide end pilasters are also present, along with rubbed flat arches, stone cills, and a plinth. Sashes are in exposed frames, with a central French door and stone quoins.

The east front may originally have been symmetrical with five bays, with remnants visible on the southern side. The northern half has been modified with one window above two small round windows. The standard features are largely a recent restoration. Originally the entrance front was blocked by an Edwardian unit, now removed.

The south front shows alterations, including two two-storeyed bays, but retains three gabled dormers thought to be original. The interior largely preserves its original appearance, owing to thorough recent restoration; features include walls panelled above and below a dado moulding, doorcases, panelled doors, and fireplaces. Folding shutters are also present. The saloon contains more elaborate details, including a tall coved ceiling and pedimented doorcases. The late 18th-century stone staircase has wrought-iron railings, and the landing has formally arranged, arched openings. A 18th-century wind indicator has recently been revealed above the dining room fireplace. The house is a National Trust property.
