West Dean Farmhouse

West Dean Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse constructed with Flemish brickwork, which is painted on the north front. It features a tiled roof and has a half-H plan design, consisting of a central block that is two stories tall with an attic, flanked by narrower forward wings that are also two stories high with low attics. A large wing was added to the east between 1750 and 1800, which contains the kitchen and oven. This wing was remodeled in the late 19th century, with a double range added to the west, a single-storey link between the wings on the front elevation, and a bay window added to the rear. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with a plain gable above it. The 18th-century small-paned casement windows are paired at the gables of the wings, but the ground floor windows have been replaced with early 19th-century sixteen-paned sashes. The wings feature plat bands and a band at the base of the attic gables, each adorned with a small oculus. The main range has gable stacks. Inside, the farmhouse has ceiling beams with ogee chamfer stops.
