Description
West Foulden is a later 19th century, two-storey, seven-bay cartshed with a rectangular plan and a forestair leading to a former granary on the first floor. The building is constructed of tooled cream sandstone rubble with droved sandstone dressings, featuring quoins, long and short surrounds to openings, and projecting cills.
On the northeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, there are modern garage doors set within segmental-arched cart openings in all bays at ground level. The upper floor has granary openings that include a boarded loft door at the center, with regularly spaced windows on either side. These windows have fixed 8-pane glazing in the upper sections and shuttered timber vents below. The forestair is recessed to the outer right.
The northwest side elevation features a gable end with a forestair that provides access to a boarded timber door on the first floor, which is offset to the right of center.
On the southwest rear elevation, the ground level is blind, while the upper floor has two granary openings flanking the center, similar to the front, with fixed 8-pane glazing above and shuttered timber vents below.
The southeast side elevation has a gable end with a square-headed opening centered at ground level and a pointed-arched window aligned above. The building is topped with a grey slate roof and stone-coped skews.
The interior was not seen in 1999.
