Description
West Farm is a building from the 17th or 18th century that has undergone some alterations. It is connected to No 68 by a garden wall featuring a swept parapet and a round-headed doorway with a blank tympanum. The main front of the building is positioned at a right angle to the road and includes sash windows, some of which are three-light. There are paterae at the eaves fascia, and the late Georgian doorcase is adorned with Tuscan pilasters and a modillion cornice, along with a fanlight. Most of these details date from the early 19th century. The building features a prominent three-storey gable end facing the road, which has Venetian windows with glazing bars on the ground and first floors, the ground floor windows equipped with shutters. A round window is present in the gable. All the listed buildings on Irsha Street are part of a group.
