Description
Westby House is a house with a boundary wall, dating from the mid-18th century. A rear range was built in 1804, and there were additions and alterations in the mid-19th century. The house is constructed of brick, with rendered and colourwashed elevations, stone dressings, and hipped slate and plain tile roofs. It has single side wall and single ridge stacks.
The east front, which is two storeys, has chamfered eaves and a projecting pedimented centre. It features five plain sash windows. A central moulded stone doorcase with a cornice on scroll brackets is flanked by single canted, flat-roofed bay windows with plain sashes. The west front is irregular, with three windows, including two plain sashes, a cross casement, all with segmental heads. Above these windows is a central casement flanked by single blanks. A panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, is to the left, and two sashes of different types are to the right, alongside single casements.
Inside, the entrance hall has a flagged floor, a modillion cornice, and two round-headed openings to the west. Six-panelled doors are on either side. A room to the right features an elaborate pierced cornice and a mid-19th century marble fireplace, while a room to the left has a reeded wooden fireplace. Both rooms have panelled doors in moulded cases. The staircase has vase and stem balusters and turned newels. Original 18th-century panelled doors remain. The rear range retains chamfered ceiling beams.
Outside, a roughly 60-meter-long brick boundary wall is coped and has two round-headed close-boarded doors, one of which is sheltered by a gable.
