Description

West Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1840 for the Pembrokes of Wilton. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a hipped tiled roof with brick stacks. The building is designed in an L-shape and is two stories tall with three windows across the front. A central stone porch has double panelled doors, side lights, and a castellated parapet, leading to an inner glazed door. On either side of the porch are tripartite 12-pane sashes with chamfered mullions and hoodmoulds. The first floor contains three 9-pane sash windows.

The left side of the house has two two-storey canted bays with sashes and French windows, with the right-hand bay likely added in the late 19th century. The right side features a 2-light ovolo-mullioned casement and a planked door that has replaced a former 3-light mullioned casement, with sashes on the first floor. At the rear, there is a single-storey late 19th-century extension, a canted bay on the first floor, and a two-storey service wing to the left that includes a 3-light casement and a planked door under a slated and glazed verandah. A half dormer with a sash window is present on the first floor.

Inside, the farmhouse has four-panelled doors, marble fireplaces, and a staircase with a wreathed handrail.
