Description

Westfield House is a former vicarage dating from 1839, incorporating older fabric, with a slightly later service wing added subsequently. The main house is built of tooled-and-margined ashlar, with squared, roughly-tooled stone towards the yard. It has a Welsh slate roof and 20th-century brick stacks. The building is in a Tudor style.

The east front, which is the entrance front, is two storeys high and has four plus one bays. A flat-topped, projecting porch is located centrally, featuring a vertically-panelled door set under a flat-pointed arch within a square frame. A chamfered band sits below a six-pane sash window, and there's a slightly-projecting coped parapet. An altered eight-pane sash window is visible on the ground floor of the right return. A gabled left end bay displays three-light windows. Set back to the right of the porch is a tall transomed stair window to the left of a transomed three-light window, with a two-light window above. A ridge stack is present. The right return of this section, facing the yard, shows a gable light with a four-centred-arched head. A two-metre high yard wall projects far to the right, with a doorway and two small windows; a service wing is located behind the yard, at the rear.

The two-bay south elevation features three-light windows, the lower ones transomed.

The west front, overlooking the garden, comprises one plus three bays. The right part has slightly projecting gabled outer bays; the right containing a canted bay window with moulded coping, and the left a renewed French window, both with three-light windows above and gable lights with four-centred arched heads. The centre bay has two-light windows, the lower ones transomed. Two ridge stacks are present. A slightly set-back left service wing has a renewed door in a chamfered surround to the left of a two-light window, and a three-light window on the first floor.

The windows are small-paned sashes, with the glazing bars of the lower leaves mostly removed. All openings have recessed and chamfered surrounds, with hoodmoulds. The gables feature moulded kneelers with pitched coping carried up over square-topped finials.

Inside, a half-glazed door leads to an entrance lobby. All doors have four pairs of narrow vertical panels, with similar panelling to door surrounds and shutters. The dining room has a Gothick fireplace with a flat four-centred arch. The drawing room features a square-flower cornice. The open-well stair has a moulded, ramped, and wreathed handrail, turned balusters, moulded newels, a curtail step, and shaped tread ends. Bedroom fireplaces retain original ironwork. The cellar contains a segmental, tooled-stone vault.
