Weston House

Weston House is a house that was later used as a hotel and is now a nursing home. It dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with an addition from the early to mid 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring some painted stone dressings, and has a partly rendered ground floor. The roofs are slate, hipped at the center and left.

The structure has three storeys, with two-storey wings set back from the main block. It has a tall rendered plinth that is lined to resemble ashlar, a first-floor cill band, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and a wooden fascia with a moulded cornice. There are late 19th-century panelled integral brick end stacks located at the center block and the right-hand wing. The facade features a 1:3:1 bay arrangement with boxed glazing bar sashes that have painted stone cills and painted rusticated stone lintels with triple keystones. The second-floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements. The left-hand wing has a blind first-floor window and a late 19th-century wooden cross window on the ground floor.

The central entrance features a four-panelled door, with the lower panels raised and fielded, and panelled reveals that include three raised and fielded panels on each side. It is topped by a moulded architrave and a wooden Corinthian doorcase with fluted pilasters, a full entablature, and a triangular pediment that has a small circular panel in the tympanum.

Adjoining to the right is an early to mid 19th-century two-storey service wing, which slightly projects from the main building. This wing has a plain tile roof, a dentil brick eaves cornice, a parapeted gable end with stone coping and shaped stone kneelers, and a late 19th-century panelled integral end stack. It has two bays with blind windows that have painted stone cills, and the left-hand ground floor window has an inserted 20th-century casement. There is also a further service block to the right with an integral brick end stack.
