Description
Westhill House is a country villa built around 1840. The exterior is rendered and lined out to resemble ashlar, topped with a hipped slate roof that features overhanging bracketed eaves. The house has two storeys and consists of three bays in the main block, which includes 16-pane glazing bar sash windows. A central, full-height canted bay projects from the front and contains three windows set in square recesses, with pilaster strips in between. There is a plain band above the canted bay. On the east elevation, there is a projecting solid porch that has a panelled and glazed door topped by a round head. To the left, there is a later 19th-century wing that is set back; this wing is made of yellow brick, has a hipped slate roof, and features two storeys with two windows and a canted bay at the far left.
