Description
West Sevington Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1849 by James Thomson for Joseph Neeld of Grittleton. It is constructed from squared rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with eaves. The building has octagonal-shafted stacks on the end walls and two on the ridge. The two-storey front has six windows in a picturesque style, with long-mullioned ground floor windows that are two-light, except for a three-light window on the right. The first floor has unusual square oriel windows, each supported by three open brackets and topped with barge boarded gables that break the main eaves. Both floors have small pane casements. The farmhouse has a raised plinth and a moulded band.
The second bay features a large two-storey projecting porch with a hipped roof, a first-floor square oriel with a roof that is hipped from the eaves of the main roof, and an ashlar ground floor with chamfered angles and a depressed-arched entry. The year "1849" is displayed in a roundel above the entry. There is a depressed-arched door within the porch.
At the northeast, there is a rear wing that was formerly a cheese room and dairy, which includes a lean-to on the west side and mullion windows. The rear of the main range has mullion windows, a string course, and a central triangular bay with a stone slate roof. Along with West Foscote House and Lanhill Farmhouse in Chippenham Without, this farmhouse is one of the most elaborate of the Neeld estate farms.
