West Clint Farmhouse and Attached Barn

West Clint Farmhouse and attached barn are likely of late 17th or early 18th century date, with the barn itself being older. The barn’s roof was repaired in the 20th century following a fire. A C19 lean-to was added to the west end and recently raised to two storeys, with a further lean-to added to that. The farmhouse is built of roughly coursed large rubble with quoins, retaining whitewash, while the extension is of random rubble. The house has a stone slate roof, and the barn a slate roof.

The farmhouse has a single-depth plan arranged on an east-west axis facing north, with the extension and lean-to at the west end, and the barn continues to the east. It has two storeys and two windows, the left gable built over the end of the barn. A small gabled porch, either recent or rebuilt, is offset to the left of the front. The ground floor features a small 1-light window to the left, and two small 4-pane sashes to the right, the second smaller. The upper floor has two small 6-pane sashes; all windows have irregular stone lintels painted black, with exposed boxes. The extension to the right has a 4-pane fixed window at ground floor. A rebuilt ridge chimney stands at the junction with the extension. The rear wall incorporates a massive boulder near the west end, above which is a small fire-window, and a small pantry window is situated near the east end.

Inside, a stone partition wall is to the left of the doorway, with a lateral beam and an underdrawn ceiling to the west. A quarter-turn staircase is in the rear left corner, and the narrow service end to the east contains a former pantry, now converted into a bathroom.

The attached barn has a doorway at the junction with the farmhouse, a square window next to this, a former wagon doorway in the centre, now blocked and reduced, with rubble voussoirs, and a segmental-headed wagon doorway to the left with similar rubble voussoirs. The rear of the barn has a small fire-window at the west end, a small pantry window at the east end, and two windows above. The interior of the barn was not inspected.
