Description
Western Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of colourwashed rubble and features a double-Roman tiled roof with two brick ridge stacks and a coped verge. The building has two storeys and is arranged in a 2:1 bay configuration. The windows are three-light 19th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars, with two on the ground floor that have wooden lintels, one of which has a stopped label. To the left, there are three three-light 18th-century casements. The door opening is situated between the bay sets and features a plank door with a Ham stone porch that has a front-facing gable with coping. There is a lower height double-Roman tiled outshut to the left of the main frontage.
