West End Farmhouse

West End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 16th century, with significant improvements made in the late 16th and 17th centuries. It was modernised and partly rebuilt around 1930. The building features plastered cob on stone rubble footings, stone rubble stacks (one of which retains its original chimney shaft), and a slate roof that was formerly thatched.

Originally, the farmhouse had a three-room-and-through-passage layout facing southwest. The inner room, located at the northwest end, has a gable-end stack, while the former hall has an axial stack that backs onto the site of the passage. The partition between the hall and the inner room has been removed, uniting the two spaces. The rear of the passage is now blocked by a 20th-century staircase. The service end has a two-room plan with an axial stack between, but this section is a complete rebuild from around 1930. The original house was an open hall house heated by an open hearth fire, with hall and inner room fireplaces likely added between the mid 16th century and early 17th century, starting with the hall fireplace. The hall was floored over in the late 16th or early 17th century, likely when the porch was constructed. The farmhouse is now two storeys throughout.

The exterior features an irregular window arrangement with two 20th-century casements and glazing bars. A gabled porch, slightly right of centre, has a plain outer doorway with a 20th-century plank door. There is also a secondary 20th-century door and lean-to porch on the right end, and the roof is gable-ended.

The interior has mostly been modernised in the 20th century. Both the hall and inner room fireplaces are blocked by 20th-century grates. The inner room end lacks visible carpentry details, but the hall section includes a soffit-chamfered and pyramid-stopped crossbeam. The roof over the hall and inner room consists of 16th-century trusses, with the lower sections plastered over, suggesting they are jointed crucks. Only the hall part of the roof space was accessible during the survey and it was smoke-blackened from the open hearth fire.
