Extant Building
Hedley West House is shown in its original layout (a linear row roughly in line with Hedley Lane) on a plan of The Gibside Estate in 1822. In the 1850s-60s John Bowes redeveloped the buildings to the design of J.E.Watson in an E shaped plan. The tenants of the new build in 1856 were Peter and Alexander McLaven. In the late 20th century a new stone farmhouse was built to the north-east of the original. The original farmhouse has been heavily altered with the cartsheds redeveloped as holiday cottages.
