Description
Farm buildings and gateposts. An early to mid 19th century farmhouse which is two storeys with a single storey extension to the east. Built of coursed limestone ruvbble with a Welsh slate roof and raised gables. It has timber sliding sash windows with margin panes, stone lintels and cills. The extension has an original six-over-six pane timber window. Whitewashed outbuildings surround the farmhouse. The barn along the edge of Cleadon Lane was the original farmhouse. The pitch of its roof suggests that it was previously thatched. The buildings have been modified and extended in response to changing agricultural practices and methods. There is a line of mature trees along the western edge of the farm. West Hall Farm is a remarkably intact group of historic agricultural buildings. LOCAL LIST
