Description

Westbury Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, featuring an open hall with later axial additions from the 17th or 18th century. The building has early 19th-century brick casing and a double pile wing to the west. It is constructed of timber framing and plaster, with soft red brick and 19th-century gault brick. The roofs are hipped and covered with plain tiles, with a side stack to the west and a rear stack. The farmhouse has two storeys, a brick band at the first floor, and a plinth. A 19th-century open porch with a gable roof and shaped bargeboards leads to a panelled door set in a segmental brick arch. There are two three-light casement windows on the ground floor and three similar windows on the first floor. Inside, the exposed timber frame reveals the original layout of the open hall and smoke bay, featuring an open truss with notched-lap cross braces between the collar and tie beam.
