Description

West Farmhouse is a house with several constructions, likely divided into cottages at some point in its history. It dates from the early to mid-18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is made of limestone rubble brought to course, with some reused ashlar, and has a pantile roof. The layout is somewhat incoherent, indicating earlier modifications and subdivisions. Currently, it features a hallway entry with a cross wing and a parallel range of different builds at the rear. The house is two storeys high and has three first-floor windows, with a straight joint to the left of the door. The entrance has a half-glazed door set in a 20th-century wooden porch, flanked by two canted bay windows and a blocked doorway to the left, with a similar window on the right. The end facade of the front range is partially constructed from very large ashlar blocks, which include some mouldings likely repurposed from the ruins of a medieval chapel that once stood in Fryton. Inside, there is a plain main staircase from the early 19th century, which has been inserted into the rear parallel range. There are adjoining farm buildings at the rear that have been converted into accommodation, but these are not of special interest.
