Sykefield and 138, Westcotes Drive

This is a large house with an attached service wing and lodge, dating back to approximately 1880. It was designed by Ewan Christian. The house is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and has a Cumberland slate hipped roof, punctuated by five tall chimney stacks. It is two storeys high, plus attics.

The front of the house features a chamfered plinth, a band below the ground floor windows, and a second band below the first-floor windows. The windows are metal-framed casement windows. The main entrance has a projecting porch with an ashlar archway, a triple overlight, and an inner plank door, accompanied by two-light mullion windows. Dormers with cross casements are located above the roofline. To the left is a projecting wing, and beyond it, a single-storey service entrance wing. The garden front has five windows and a projecting, three-storey canted bay window, with a three-light central window and flanking two-light cross mullion windows on each floor. A garden door with a double overlight is present, along with various other cross mullion windows. Two hipped dormers with casements are above. Attached to the right is a single-storey service wing, linked to a slightly higher stable wing, which has since been altered.

The lodge, attached to the northwest, is connected by a wall and gates. It has a similar hipped roof and a central stack. It is single-storey in height and arranged in an L-shaped plan. The front of the lodge features a projecting square bay with a three-light mullion casement and a hipped roof. A single hipped dormer window with a two-light casement sits above. A wall encloses a small yard, accessed via a plank gate.

The interior retains many original features, including doors, door frames, and internal shutters. The main staircase features square newels and turned balusters, although the central well has been filled in by a 20th-century lift. A secondary staircase with stick balusters also survives. Numerous rooms contain imitation 18th-century wooden fireplaces.
