West View
Two storey, double-fronted house, with an extension to the right hand gable. Originally constructed before 1868 (present on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 1st edition map of that date). All known early photographs show the gable extension as a roofless structure, with a single pitch roof sloping away from the gable, and a narrow doorway towards the right of the front wall. After much alteration, the extension is now used as a garage or store. A porch protecting the front door was an early addition to the front facade, and this was later extended to first floor level to provide additional living accommodation. The property was acquired by the Manx Museum and National Trust in 1993.
