Description
The stable block, walls of the walled garden, and corner gazebo at Old Westmill Farm date from the 18th century. The structure is built of red brick and features steep red tile hipped roofs. It is a tall single-storey symmetrical building that forms the western side of a courtyard, with a walled garden at the rear and a small square gazebo at the northwest corner. The eastern front has a slightly projecting triangular-pedimented center with a semi-circular three-light window and a moulded cornice. There is one door on each side of the center, along with a central door, and the windows are segmental arched. The southern end of the building slopes down to two storeys, featuring a blocked three-light segmental-headed window in the upper part. There are two tall chimneys on the rear slope of the roof. The small square gazebo is elevated, with an entrance accessed by five steps on the south side and a single flush box sash window on the north, east, and west sides, topped with a pyramidal tile roof.
