Description
West Coker Hall is a country house completed by 1842, built from Ham stone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof between coped gables and brick end chimney stacks or stone bases. It is designed in a Tudor revival style and is a well-detailed example of this architectural approach. The house is two storeys high with attics and features a symmetrical east elevation with five bays, where the central bay is slightly projected and gabled.
The structure is plinthed, forming a basement on the sides, and has 2-light hollow chamfered mullioned and transomed windows with wooden casements in the outer bays. The third bay contains a deep moulded recessed pointed arched doorway under a label with square stops, which frames a four-panelled traceried door with glazed upper panels. Above this doorway is a pointed arched window with curvilinear tracery, and there is a trefoil cusped window in the attic, both featuring labels.
At the rear, there is a double gabled extension with a pitched stone slab roof and a porch that includes a bell-turret. The rear also has wing walls with pointed arch doorways. The interior has not been seen, but it is noted that some early work from Naish Priory in East Coker may be incorporated into the building.
