Description

West End House is a house dating from the 17th century, though it may be older. It was owned by the Scropes of Bolton Castle in the 14th and 15th centuries and later by the Thorntons in the 16th and 17th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and has a T-shaped plan with a rear projecting range. It stands two storeys high and features three first-floor windows. The house has a plinth and a central oak board door set within a weathered architrave that includes a keystone. The first-floor has 16-pane sash windows in weathered architraves. On the ground floor to the right, there is a 6-pane fire-window, and above it, a blocked small 2-light mullion fire-window, along with remains of other mullion windows. The left gable is coped, and there is a large stepped chimney-stack to the right.

On the east return of the rear wing, there are two 2-light double-chamfered mullion windows. Inside, there are late 18th-century doors and window shutters. To the right of the entrance door in the main body of the house, there is 17th-century panelling with a frieze, oak beams, and joists, which are said to have been brought from Pendragon Castle. There is a moulded plaster reveal inside a blocked mullion window and a fireplace with a segmental-arched lintel that appears to have joggled voussoirs, along with salt and spice boxes. A spiral oak staircase, which was formerly made of stone, leads off from the main body of the house. In the parlour, to the left of the door, there is a fireplace with an 18th-century eared architrave and a 17th-century plaster frieze decorated with acorns and pomegranates between a moulded base and cornice. The rear service wing contains a beehive oven and a large bressumer that was formerly used for a firehood. On the first floor, there is a partition with plastered reed infill and splat balusters leading to the landing.
