Description

West Goldworthy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 14th century, which was remodeled in the 17th century, with a rear wing that was remodeled in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed and dressed slatestone rubble, with some cob, and features a gabled roof covered with 20th-century artificial slate. There is a late 19th-century brick stack at the left end and a 17th-century rear lateral stack made of rendered stone, finished in late 19th-century brick. There is a similar lateral stack on the right side wall of the rear wing.

The farmhouse originally had an open-hall plan in the 14th century. By the 17th century, it had been remodeled into a two-storey, three-unit plan, with a lateral stack serving the central hall. The rear right wing likely dates back to the 17th century as well, featuring a lateral stack but was remodeled in the early 19th century. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range.

Notable features include a tympanum arch over a blocked 14th-century moulded two-centred arched doorway, located to the right of a concrete-lintel over a 20th-century door. Above this door is a concrete lintel over a 20th-century window. On the right side, there are two 19th-century shuttered windows (originally for a dairy) with timber lintels, and on the first floor, there are early 19th-century horizontal-sliding sashes and a late 19th-century two-light casement. The front wall also has doveholes and a chamfered stone cornice.

To the left, there is a late 19th-century outshut, and to the right, an 18th-century outshut, both with slate roofs. The rear of the farmhouse features two mid-19th-century sashes with glazing bars. The rear wing has early 19th-century twelve-pane sashes on the left side wall. Inside, there is a 17th-century plank door and chamfered, boxed beams in the front range. The roof of the front range reveals the boxed feet of two late medieval cruck trusses at first-floor level, although a detailed inspection of the trusses is not possible.
