Description

Westgate is a former farmhouse and hind's cottage, now functioning as a single house, built in 1835, as indicated by the date above the door. The structure features dressed stone with a brick section on the left and a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high with three bays, accompanied by a lower one-bay cottage to the right and single-storey sections on each side.

The main house has a six-panel door set in a raised surround with a moulded edge, and the date is carved in relief on the lintel. On the ground floor, the original sash windows have had their intermediate glazing bars removed, while the first floor features 16-pane sashes. The cottage section has 20th-century four-pane sashes in raised surrounds. Stone brackets are present below the eaves, and the gabled roof has flat coping and banded end stacks.

To the right, there is a two-bay section with eight-pane Yorkshire sashes, and to the left, the one-bay brick section is constructed in English Garden Wall Bond, featuring half-shuttered windows.
