Goldenfield West Lychgate

The building comprises two houses, arranged as an irregular group of linked structures, built in 1891 by Philip Webb and with later work in 1905 by Owen Little. The walls are of polygonal sandstone rubble with brick quoins, and incorporate roughcast, a small area of mock timber frame with plaster infill, and some upper walls with tile hanging. The roof is tiled, with a hipped, half-hipped and gabled design, and features prominent brick stacks. The buildings are generally vernacular in style, mostly two storeys high, with an attic to a taller rear block, and have irregular window placement. The windows are leaded casements. A porch with a hipped tile roof leads to a plainer entrance, which is accessed via a roadside lychgate. A timber-framed tower has a boarded lower stage, a part-pyramid roof overhanging brackets, and is surmounted by an open turret with coupled corner columns and a concave pyramid roof. The group value of the building lies in its distinctive and unusual combination of varied structures.
