Description
Western House is a pair of houses with a former shop, dating from the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings. The roof of No. 43 is covered with concrete tiles, while No. 44 features pantiles and stone-flagged eaves, both topped with stone gable coping and rendered chimneys. The building stands two storeys high and has four wide bays.
Each house has plain stone surrounds around the central door. The door for No. 43, located on the left, is a four-panelled design with an overlight, while the door for No. 44 has been renewed. The shop in the left bay of No. 44 features a projecting square bay window with four rows of five panes beneath a corniced fascia, along with a 20th-century door and overlight framed by slender pilasters under a cornice. There is also a canted bay window to the right of No. 44. The other windows are late 19th-century sashes, each with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The roof displays left gable coping on a moulded kneeler, and there is a banded ridge chimney on the left side of each house.
