40 And 42, Westhorpe

40 and 42 Westhorpe is an early 17th-century aisled hall house that has been clad in brick and altered in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Attached to the west side is an early 19th-century cottage, which was rebuilt around 1975 and was formerly numbered 42. The main building is timber framed with brick cladding and features a steeply pitched hipped and gabled pantile roof, complete with a gablet at the south end. It has two gable stacks and a single corner stack, and consists of a single storey plus attics.

The east front has a nearly central blocked doorway that contains a two-light casement. To the right of this doorway is a 20th-century lean-to glazed porch, and to the left is another two-light casement. All these openings have segmental heads. Above the doorway, there is a central two-light cross-eaves dormer. The south end facing the street has a 20th-century casement to the left, and above it, there is a small 18th-century casement and a Yorkshire sash. The north end features a 19th-century single-storey addition.

Inside, the building has three bay posts with arch braces. The southern pair of posts supports a first-floor stud wall with rendered nogging. On the west side, there is an aisle plate and two winder staircases. The central ground floor room has a stop-chamfered spine beam, while the southern room features a chamfered and moulded spine beam along with unusually heavy floor joists.

The rebuilt cottage to the west is constructed of brick with a steeply pitched pantile roof and has a corner stack. It is a single storey plus a garret. The west front has a central close-boarded door and a Yorkshire sash to its right. The gable end facing the street has a single Yorkshire sash on each floor, with the upper one being smaller. The interior of the cottage includes a single purlin roof with collars.
