Description
West Haye Farmhouse, together with its adjoining outbuildings to the north and gate piers to the east, is a farmhouse dating from around the 17th century, with extensions added to the rear in the mid-19th century and early 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of rubblestone, rendered on the front, and has a slate roof with gabled ends. A catslide roof extends to the rear. A brick stack is located on the left-hand gable end, while a stone lateral stack has granite quoins and a moulded string to the rear of the main range. There is also a further brick stack to the rear of the main range. The original plan likely consisted of three rooms and a through passage, possibly with an entrance originally positioned to the right of centre and a service room on the right, a central hall served by the lateral stack, and a parlour to the left. The front has a regular three-window arrangement. The ground floor has three 20th-century three-light windows, with a wide, early 20th-century partly glazed door situated between the first and second windows, featuring a slate hood and remnants of lattice work. A blocked opening, overgrown with foliage, is located between the second and third windows. Above, there are three 20th-century two-light windows. Internally, the ground floor reveals a partly blocked fireplace served by the rear lateral stack, and a blocked fireplace on the left-hand gable end. An outshut includes a clay oven projection to the rear of the lateral stack. There's evidence of a door opening to the right (northwest) of the fireplace, in line with the blocked opening on the front. A staircase, dating from the early 19th century, features square cut balusters, a slightly moulded rail, and a turned newel. On the first floor, a blocked window opening to the rear is blocked by the outshut. A long chamfered timber lintel with pyramid stops is present. The roof timbers are almost complete, comprising seven heavy principals dying into the side of a wall plate, side pegged collars, also heavy and slightly chamfered, and trenched purlins.
Adjoining the farmhouse on the right-hand gable end (north) is a bank barn, dating from the early 19th century, extended to the right in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of rubblestone with a slate roof, continued in corrugated iron at a slightly differing pitch, and has gabled ends. The east front has two storeys. The left-hand part features a segmented brick arch and a door beneath a granite lintel, with a plank door above. To the right, there is a range with large granite quoins and timber plank doors to the ground and first floor. A lean-to garage is attached to the right-hand gable end. The circa mid-19th century gate piers, located to the east of the house, are of granite, square in plan, and have ball finials. The site slopes down to the south. The property has connections to Barton Farm and the Haye Estate, with the Hayes family holding the estate from at least the 14th century.
