Description
West Farm House is a farmhouse located in Boyton Corton Village, dating from the 18th century with a front facade added in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, while the returns are made of English garden wall bond brick, topped with a Welsh slate roof and gable end brick stacks that have toothed capping.
The house is two stories high with a three-bay front. The central entrance features a half-glazed door with margin panes, set within a stone Tuscan porch supported by columns and pilasters. On either side of the entrance are two-storey canted bays, which contain 16-pane sash windows facing the front and 12-pane sashes on the sides. The first floor has a plat band at sill level and a 12-pane sash window above the door. There is a moulded stone eaves cornice along the top of the building.
The right return of the house has two 2-light casements in the attic, indicating evidence of an earlier, steeper roof. The left return features an external brick stack and a single light casement in the attic. At the rear, there is a wing with 2-light and 3-light casements, as well as 16-pane sashes on the east side, and a hipped dormer on the tiled roof. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in April 1985.
