Description
The stable block at Westwood Hall Farm, dating from around 1780, is constructed of brick with plain-tiled and slate roofs. It features a symmetrical design with a central block that has three bays, connected by a curtain wall to single-bay pavilions on either side, which include later lean-to stabling.
The exterior of the central range has one and two storeys, highlighted by an advanced pedimented central gable. This gable includes a full-height relieving arch above a central round-arched doorway, with a circular pitching-eye above it, adorned with stone dressings and keystones. A brick string course runs along the gable, and there is an inserted window next to the doorway. The outer bays contain single round-arched doorways, with simple brick circular pitching-eyes above. There are also inserted doors and windows on either side.
The outer pavilions are characterized by round-arched doorways flanking windows that have segmental brick heads, with a round-arched upper window in the left pavilion and an inserted window in the right. The rear elevation features round-headed windows and is arranged in a pattern of bays that mirrors the main elevation, with a pediment over the central bay of the principal building.
The interior has not been inspected. This stable block is part of a courtyard farm complex that appears to have been laid out and planned in the late 18th century, incorporating elements of earlier buildings and later extensions within the central space.
