West Park Farmhouse

West Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid to late 19th century. The original construction was likely rendered over stone rubble and cob, with a gable-ended roof originally thatched, now covered in asbestos slate. Later additions are of uncoursed stone rubble, with red brick dressings to a lean-to addition, and have a gable-ended scantle-slate roof. The farmhouse retains 17th-century stone stacks with weatherings and later red-brick tops, as well as a 19th-century red-brick stack to a wing.

The original layout was a two-room central-entrance plan facing south, typical of the 17th century, with integral end stacks and a staircase at the rear of the central entrance hall. A 19th-century kitchen wing projects at right angles to the front of the right-hand end, with a store-room on the ground floor. A continuous lean-to extends along the rear of the original range, altered or added in the 19th century. The eaves were probably raised at some point, likely in the 19th century.

The front of the farmhouse was formerly symmetrical, but is now asymmetrical with four windows to the first floor and three to the ground floor, all featuring 19th-century two-light wooden casements. The central entrance doorway, between the second and third ground-floor windows from the left, has a 19th-century four-panelled door with glazed upper panels and beaded flush lower panels, approached by four stone steps. The gable end of the 19th-century wing to the right features shaped barge boards and a first-floor two-light wooden casement with a segmental stone-arched head.

The left-hand return front has two 19th-century wooden small-paned casements to the first floor and a ground-floor two-light wooden casement off-centre to the left, also with a segmental stone-arched head. A boarded door is situated to the left, mirroring the arched head, while a store-room at the right-hand end has a large three-part rectangular overlight and wooden lintel. The rear lean-to has a 19th-century two-light wooden casement and a boarded door in the left-hand end, both with red brick jambs and segmental-arched heads.

Internally, the ground-floor rooms of the original 17th-century range retain chamfered cross beams and half beams with run-out stops. A 19th-century staircase now occupies the rear of the entrance hall, replacing an earlier 17th-century stair. The rest of the interior features 19th-century doors, and a winder staircase is found in the 19th-century kitchen wing.
