Description
Westbourne House is a large house built in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar with white stone dressing and features a low hipped roof. The house is two stories high with five bays, presenting a symmetrical facade centered around a doorway framed by a channelled ashlar architrave. The entrance has a six-panelled door with an elegant case topped by a triglyph frieze. The windows are twelve-light sashes, each surrounded by stone with keystones. The building includes angle quoins, a string course, and an unornamented eaves cornice made of white stone. There are gable and axial stacks located behind the entrance.
To the left of the main house is a single mid-18th century bay or pavilion that is shorter and features a hipped slate roof. This section has two stories with triple light sashes in a Palladian style on each floor. To the right, there are two additional bays of lesser height, also dating from the 18th century, made of banded rubble. The inner bay has two stories with sashes that include margin lights, while the outer bay is lower, featuring a door and a sash window on the ground floor with a stone head and keystones. The upper windows of this section project slightly. The two sections are separated at the roof level by a coped gable, although the wall is a continuous build.
Inside, the house boasts a fine early 18th-century open well staircase with three balusters on each tread, alternating between tightly twisted and fluted designs. The handrail ends in a right spiraling curve. There are also two Adam-style fireplaces and a remarkable plaster ceiling in the rear room, which features a large central raised oval flanked by plain panels and a cornice.
