Description
Westside House is a mid-to-late 19th century vicarage, rebuilt on the site of an earlier building dating back to 1702. The west wing was constructed in 1847, with the remainder of the house following in 1873. It is now used as offices and a laboratory. The building is of brick construction, with a rendered west wing, and has Welsh slate roofs with stone gable copings. It follows an H-plan, with shaped-gabled cross wings.
The north-facing entrance front features a two-window centre flanked by a one-window left wing and a slightly projecting two-window right wing. A chamfered plinth runs along the base. A central six-panel door, with a glazed overlight, is set within a plain surround under a scrolled pediment and flanked by narrow sash windows with glazing bars. A tripartite sash window is positioned under a basket arch on the first floor of the right wing, and similar tripartite sash windows are found in the left wing. A brick entablature separates the floors. Stone tablets are set into the gables: "HEN ALLAIN 1702" beneath "C. BAILEY 1873" on one gable, and “H.T. AD 1847” on the other. A one-storey, hip-roofed, two-bay left service wing extends from the left, while the right wing incorporates a one-storey, half-octagonal bay window with a flat lead roof. A hip-roofed dormer window is situated in the centre of the roof. The building has lateral stacks, with conjoined shafts on the wings, and a ridge stack on the right wing. The garden front mirrors the entrance front.
Inside, an open-well staircase features turned balusters and newels, a moulded handrail and string, while panelled doors are set within wood architraves. Moulded ceiling cornices are present in the 1847 wing.
