Description
West View House is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone, with the original sections featuring coursed stonework and a Cotswold stone roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, topped with two Cotswold gables. It includes two-light hollow chamfered mullion windows, with three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The outer ground floor windows are 20th-century two- and three-light mullion windows set in lightly rebated surrounds, while the central first-floor window is a sash window with vertical glazing bars and panes divided by fictive lead cames. The entrance features a central late 20th-century half-glazed door that has been cut into the original moulded square head doorway. Inside, there are large fireplaces in the rear of the ground floor rooms, including an inglenook fireplace to the south.
