Description
West Harwood Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 17th century and was enlarged and refronted in the early 19th century. The building is roughcast over rubble with bitumen-covered slate roofs. It has a roughcast stack on the left gable end and a stone stack on the right. The layout is L-shaped, probably consisting of a three-cell and cross passage farmhouse with a two-cell and cross passage addition on the east front, along with another addition in the angle on the north front. The east front features two storeys and three bays, with 16-pane sash windows, a central door case with an open pediment and pilasters, panelled reveals, fanlights, and a panelled door. The long left return of the original farmhouse has 20th-century windows. The interior has not been seen.
