Description

West View Farmhouse comprises a house, adjoining cottage, and byre range, dated 1801 as indicated by a rainwater head. The house is constructed of ashlar with rusticated quoins, a sill band to the first floor, and moulded eaves. It has a graduated slate roof with stone copings and corniced end chimneys. The symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay front features a central panelled door within a pedimented architrave. Tripartite sash windows flank the door, and three sashes are positioned above, all lacking glazing bars and set within stone surrounds. A cottage of similar construction is attached to the left, set back slightly. A 20th-century lean-to greenhouse fronts the rusticated doorcase, which incorporates a large sash window to the left; a single sash, without glazing bars and in a stone surround, sits above. The byre range adjoins the cottage at a right angle and is built of coursed, squared rubble with quoins under a graduated slate roof with stone copings and kneelers. One gable wall features a blind Venetian window with wooden tracery. A section of the house to the rear, projecting at a right angle, has been extensively altered, with original doors and windows now blocked.
