Description

West Hill Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with some early 19th-century changes to the windows. The building features rubble-stone walls, with roughcast at the top left. It has a thatched roof with gable ends, while the outhouses at either end have slate roofs. There are late 19th-century brick chimneys on the left gable and at the ridge to the right of the center. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three windows on the ground floor and one window on the first floor. The ground floor windows are three-light cast-iron casements, and the first floor has one two-light iron casement with lead lights. The entrance features a plank door with a single glass light in the center, framed by stone voussoirs. The outhouse at the right end includes a cast-iron casement with glazing bars.
