Description

West Antony Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a pebbledashed front and features slate roofs. The building has a gable end stack on the left, a former front lateral stack, and another gable end stack on the right. Originally, it had a three-room and through passage plan, with the lower end on the right now having a separate entrance at the front left, next to the passage entry. The hall on the left is heated by the front lateral stack, and the inner room at the far left has been largely rebuilt in the 19th century, with its roof level raised above that of the hall. The lower end has a lower roof level.

There is a rear wing, possibly dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, located behind the hall and passage, with a stair tower at the rear left of the inner room. The farmhouse is two storeys high, and the upper end on the left features two paired four-pane sash windows and a central single four-pane sash window at the ground floor, along with three gabled dormers above, each with a four-pane sash. To the right, the front lateral stack is capped at the eaves and has an oven projection at its base. The passage includes a porch with a pitched slate roof, a door with a timber lintel, and a gabled dormer above. There is also a single-storey late 19th-century addition on the right and another on the left end, with walls that are slightly battered.

At the rear of the inner room, there is a blocked two-light hollow-chamfered granite window with an iron stanchion at ground level, and the stair tower has a four-pane light. The rear wing is one and a half storeys high and has a 20th-century window on the rear and left side. Inside, there is a three-centred arched oak doorframe leading from the main range to the rear wing, which may be located where the original rear passage doorway was. There is also an ovolo-moulded doorframe with scroll stops between the hall and inner room, now situated within a 20th-century corridor leading to an 18th-century newel staircase with balustrading. Some chamfered and stopped cross beams remain in the hall. On the first floor, the high end features a four-bay roof with a coved plaster ceiling, principal rafters, and a diagonally set ridge purlin. The farmhouse was formerly part of the Antony estate.
