West Farm House is Grade II listed, built in the 18th century and constructed with attractive red brick elevations under Flemish bond and hipped, tiled roofs. The present owners purchased the property in 2002 and undertook a substantial programme of alterations and refurbishment, with the use of high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Exceptional care has been taken to retain and enhance the period features, and the house offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
