Description
West End House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th century and the early and late 19th centuries. The walls are primarily brickwork in Flemish bond, featuring blue headers, with some areas of stucco and flintwork with yellow brick dressings. The roof is tiled with a hipped design, and some gables.
The building comprises three phases: a late 17th-century lobby entrance house with a rear staircase wing, an 18th-century wing to the west end forming an L-shape, and a late 19th-century return wing to the north side.
The main, south-east front elevation is two storeys and has an attic, with a 1.3 window arrangement. The west side is raised and features a parapet. The windows are sash windows in exposed frames. A stucco porch of Tuscan order, with two columns, sits on a raised platform and contains a plain doorway.
The south-west elevation features a projecting half-octagonal unit, two storeys tall, with a 3.2 window arrangement, and a central blank bay. The south side is stuccoed with a parapet and sash windows, while the north side is ornamental, with a central bay containing an elaborate pediment above an arched doorway.
The irregular rear elevations display remnants of the original staircase wing and the former courtyard arrangement, which has now been filled in. Inside, the 18th-century staircase remains, although altered at the bottom, and a Victorian staircase is also present. The entrance hall is lined with 17th-century panelling taken from another building.
