Description
West Cruxton Farmhouse is a manor farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with a 19th-century extension at the south end. The building features flint and dressed stone walls, with a stone base, and has clay-tile roofs adorned with stone gable copings and moulded kneelers. There are 20th-century brick stacks at both gable ends. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics and has five windows, all featuring hollow-chamfered stone mullions set in square frames, with depressed-arch heads and fixed lead-lights that have opening metal casements in the center.
On the ground floor, there are various openings including two 2-light windows, a porch, a 3-light window, and a small buttress. The gabled porch at the center reaches full height and has an entrance with a depressed arch in a square head, topped with a returned label. The door is a studded plank-and-muntin type, complete with a weatherboard at the bottom. The rear elevation includes a staircase tower with 3-light and 4-light stone mullions. The 19th-century extension is built of rubble stone with brick dressings and features a brick stack at the gable end, along with a 3-light cast-iron casement window that has glazing bars and a segmental head.
Inside, some doorways retain their original oak frames with 4-centred heads, and there is some 17th-century panelling present.
