West Nethercote Farmhouse

West Nethercote Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates back to the late medieval period and was enlarged in the 16th century, with further enlargements and restorations occurring in the late 20th century. The building is constructed from local stone random rubble and features a low-pitched slate roof that is hipped to the right. There is an external stone stack on the left gable end and a lateral stack on the south front.

The layout of the farmhouse includes an open hall house that has been ceiled and enlarged by one bay to the east, forming a three-cell structure with a cross passage and a 20th-century addition at the west end. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five bays, all fitted with 20th-century casement windows. There is a stair projection between the third and fourth bays on the left side, and the entrance is located in the second bay on the left. The rear elevation features a four-light octagonal mullioned window on the ground floor of the second bay on the right.

Although the interior has not been seen, it is reported to contain evidence of a jointed cruck truss roof with smoke blackening. There is a shouldered wooden door frame to the right of the cross passage that opens into the hall, which has a large lateral beam and smaller axial beams on the south side, along with rafters and pyramid stops. There is also evidence of a trap door leading to the upper storey and an unusual bench end similar to that at Withycombe Cottage set into a rebuilt bench. The lateral beams in the east end room feature a step and run-out stops, and there is a chamfered wooden lintel. The hall appears to have been ceiled in two stages.
