Description
West Lynch House is a farmhouse, now a dwelling, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. It was refenestrated in the early 19th century and has undergone significant internal alterations since then. The building features roughcast over rubble, possibly cob, with a thatched roof. There is an external stack on the left gable end, with a renewed brick chimney, and a lateral stack between the third and fourth bays on the left, along with a brick stack on the right gable end.
The house is L-shaped and has two storeys with a three-bay section and a two-bay section. The left side has four windows with eyebrows, all of which are 16-pane sash windows. There is a 20-pane sash window on the ground floor flanking the entrance, which features a panelled door and a flat-roofed decorative trelliswork wooden porch. To the right of the lateral stack, there are inserted 20th-century French windows, a 20th-century door, and a three-light casement window leading to the service wing beyond.
The service end is separated from the house by a full-height roughcast wall with cement saddleback coping that sweeps down to a dwarf wall in front of the house. A similar wall with slate coping is at the end bay on the right. The dwarf wall is made of dressed red sandstone with steeply chamfered coping and is set with cast iron railings featuring flatted heads, stepped up in sections in front of the house, along with a gate of similar design.
The interior, which has been extensively altered, retains some steeply chamfered beams and features an early 19th-century semi-circular headed stair window with tinted glass. This house was the residence of the mill owner for the now-demolished corn mill at West Lynch, and it is likely that the farmhouse was refenestrated when the mill was rebuilt around 1820.
