West Mead

West Mead is a house dating from around the early 16th century, with substantial remodelling and extensions in the 17th century. It is constructed of whitewashed and partly roughcast stone rubble, with an asbestos slate hipped roof. The original layout consisted of three rooms and a through passage with an open hall. In the 17th century, the hall was floored, a rear lateral stack was inserted, and the front wall of the hall was moved forward. It was likely at this time that a kitchen wing was added to the rear of the higher end of the house. A later outshut was added to the front of the lower end.

The house has two storeys and a long, three-window front with 20th-century casement windows. A gabled hall projection on the right has a stone hood mould over the ground-floor window and a timber lintel with run-out stops. The first-floor window also has a hood mould and a chamfered lintel. The through passage doorway is to the left of the centre, with a chamfered lintel and inserted fielded panelling to the side of the door, with a 20th-century porch. An outshut is situated to the left of the front.

Inside, the inserted floor over the hall features chamfered beams with run-out stops. A partly blocked lateral fireplace exists in the hall. A solid wall separates the hall from the inner room. The inner room has two closely spaced, chamfered ceiling beams with ogee stops. Chamfered beams are also present in the kitchen wing, along with a large kitchen fireplace in the end wall, featuring a 20th-century lintel and oven. The roof over the main range has three trusses, and one blade of a fourth truss is lightly smoke-blackened, with morticed apices, morticed collars, and threaded purlins, although the collars and purlins are missing. The roof over the lower end has been replaced, but retains one truss from around the 17th or 18th century. The roof over the kitchen wing is entirely 20th century.
