Description
Westbrook House is a substantial early 18th century house in Great Faringdon, faced with stucco over a rubble stone core. It is arranged in an L-shape, with two storeys and an attic, and features a large hipped roof covered in a mix of stone tiles to the rear and modern tiles to the front. Brick ridge stacks are present, one on a chequered brick and stone base to the front range, and a similar stack to the rear wing. A moulded wood dentil eaves cornice runs along the top of the building.
The west front has a five-window range, with angle quoins. The first-floor windows have cambered heads, while the ground floor and central first-floor windows are flat-headed. All have plain raised surrounds; the central first-floor window has an eared architrave, and the ground-floor windows have keystones. A heavily block-rusticated door surround with a triple keystone is centrally positioned. The south side has a six-window range to the first floor, with the outer pair being blank. There are three ground-floor windows, flanked by doors. These have plain raised surrounds with flat heads and keystones. A single four-light gabled dormer is visible.
The rear is of rubble stone, and includes a staircase block at the angle, with a hipped roof covered in plain tiles. Inside, a heavy moulded handrail with twisted balusters runs along the staircase, and there is some fielded panelling. An inscription on an interior wall is said to indicate a date of 1705.
