Western House

Western House is a house dating to circa 1800, substantially refaced in 1825. The house is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with painted stone dressings, featuring a renewed plain tile roof that is hipped at the rear. It has moulded painted eaves and two brick end stacks, along with ashlar coping to the right gable.

The exterior has three storeys and a cellar, displaying a three-window range. The first and ground floors feature 8/8 sash windows, while the upper floor has 4/12 sashes. All windows are accompanied by painted channelled voussoirs, keystones and sill bands. A doorcase on the left side of the centre incorporates three-quarter Tuscan columns, an open pediment, a decorative fanlight, a six-panel door, two stone steps with nosings and an iron scraper. To the left of the doorcase is an elliptical-arched carriage entrance with a rendered roll-moulded surround, imposts and double 12-panel doors. A moulded painted plinth includes a cellar grille. A date plaque reading “ID 1825” records the date of the refacing. A side elevation is partly constructed of brick in English garden wall bond and partly stuccoed, with dentilled eaves. It features three side doors and one Gothic window. Stone voussoirs and keystones adorn the sash windows. Rear wings of three, two, and one storeys are also present. The rear elevation includes a full-length 20-pane sash window on the ground floor.

The interior retains numerous early 19th century features, including shutters, fireplaces, doors, floorboards, a staircase, and plaster mouldings. Historical records indicate clearance of the site in 1799.
