Westweek Farmhouse

Westweek Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, although it may incorporate earlier fabric. The farmhouse is built of painted rendered stone rubble and cob, with a thatched roof featuring gable ends. It has a brick shaft to a stone rubble stack at the left end, an axial brick stack, and a rear lateral stone rubble stack to the lower end.

The original layout was a three-room and through-passage plan, with lofted stables attached to the right lower end. The lower end room has a rear lateral stack, the hall is heated by a stack backing onto the through-passage, and the through-passage contains a straight-run staircase. A separate staircase is located along the rear wall of the inner room at the left end. In the 19th century, the farmhouse was likely divided into two separate dwellings.

The exterior is two storeys high and features a two-window range. The 19th-century windows are largely intact, with two-light casements to the upper storey. The ground floor has a 20th-century window to the left of a 20th-century door to the inner room, a two-light casement with twelve panes per light, a three-light casement with ten panes per light to the left of a plank door leading to the through-passage, a two-light casement with nine panes per light to the lower end, and a loft door above a plank door to the integral stables at the right end.

The interior appears to have been largely remodelled in the 19th century. The hall fireplace has a cambered brick arch and a rough, chamfered cross ceiling beam. The roof structure may be of interest and warrants further investigation.
