Description
Westbury House is a building that now serves as offices, originally constructed in the late 17th century with a later 18th-century front and 20th-century extensions to the left and rear. The left-hand return front is made of sandstone rubble, while the main front features brown brick. It has a steeply pitched, hipped plain tiled roof that is partly hidden by a stone-coped parapet. The house is two storeys high with attics and has multiple stacks at both ends.
The front has four windows; the attic storey features six-light sash windows under gauged-brick heads, and there are four 12-pane sash windows on the first and ground floors, which are replacements. To the right of the centre, there are double doors with six fielded panels set in a panelled reveal and surrounded by an architrave. Above the doors is a traceried fanlight, and in front is a Tuscan porch with panelled soffits to the lintels, a flat lead roof, and two columns on pedestals in front of rear pilasters. The frieze has fluted bands that alternate with roundels, with the outer roundels in oval surrounds.
To the left, there is a two-storey and attic extension that is designed in a similar style, while further extensions to the rear are not of special interest.
