Description
West Orchard Farm House is a detached farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to the early 17th century, with extensions added to the east in the 18th century and to the west in the 19th century. The building features rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof that is half-hipped at the east end. It has three stone stacks on the ridge, one of which has been enlarged in brick. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three casement windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, along with a pair of French doors in the east extension. There is evidence of earlier, blocked windows. At the rear, a lean-to has stone walls and a roof that is part tiled and part stone-slated. The main ground floor room in the original section includes a moulded stone fireplace surround with a four-centred arch, while there are two similar but simpler fireplaces on the first floor. An arched doorway is located in the west wall of the original section.
