Description
Westona House is an 18th-century house with a front dating to around 1800, located on Rectory Lane in Edith Weston. The front features fine ashlar stonework with a plinth, sill bands, a parapet, and a hipped Welsh slate roof with moulded stone end stacks. The rest of the building is constructed from coursed rubble stone with quoins and additional brick stacks. It has three storeys and five sash windows, with a 3/3 configuration on the second floor and 6/6 on the others, all set in stone frames. The central section of the house projects slightly and includes a six-panelled door with a fanlight featuring curved intersecting glazing bars, all within a stone doorcase topped by a broken pediment supported on brackets. Above this, there is a round-arched window with a sash that has similar curved glazing bars to the fanlight below. The central section also features a pediment at cornice level above the 3/3 second-floor sash, and behind this pediment is a small dormer. On both ends at the first-floor level, there is a one-light stone-framed window that is blocked on the left end. The house was formerly the Rectory. The interior was not seen in 1983.
