Description
Westfield Folk House Youth Centre is a house that has been converted into a youth centre, built around 1830, with later alterations in the late 19th and late 20th centuries. The building features coursed squared stone with an ashlar front and ashlar dressings, topped by a hipped slate roof with two ridge stacks and a single rear wall coped stone stack. It has a plinth and rebated eaves, standing three storeys tall with a three-window range and a square plan that includes a two-storey rear service wing.
The entrance front showcases three margin light sash windows with double keystone lintels, and above these, there are three 9-pane sashes with single keystone lintels. A central square flat-roofed porch is supported by paired Doric pilasters and features a cornice, with a moulded four-panel door and overlight set in a moulded surround. On either side of the porch, there is a single small plain sash window. Beyond the porch, there are additional single plain sashes, all with double keystone lintels.
The right side of the building has a margin-light sash window on the left and a 12-pane sash window on the right, with a 9-pane sash above to the right. All these windows have projecting surrounds. The left return features a margin-light sash on the left and a 9-pane sash above it, also with projecting surrounds. The ground floor includes a French window with an overlight on the left and a canted stone bay window on the right, which has a parapet and three plain sashes.
Inside, the entrance corridor is decorated with an enriched frieze, two round arches, and four-panel doors. There is a stone cantilever dogleg stair with cast-iron twist balusters. The ground-floor right front room has an enriched cornice and a ceiling boss, while the ground-floor left rear room features a moulded cornice and two round-headed alcoves.
