Description
Weston House is a house dating from around 1830, which was rebuilt from a 16th-century manor house. It is constructed of sandstone and ironstone rubble, with brick quoins and dressings, and features plain tiled roofs with ridge cresting. The entrance front is positioned at right angles to the street and the house has two storeys with double gabled ends and attics in the gables. Each bargeboarded gable has one casement window. The house has tall stacks with round shafts and corbelled tops that are decorated with cut and raised brick patterns, including chevrons. There are coupled stacks on a plinth to the left, four stacks on the ridge of the right-hand gable, and additional stacks in the roof valley.
On the first floor to the left, there is one casement window, and on the ground floor, there is a casement window under a cambered head to the left. To the right, in a projecting bay, there is a gabled, stone-dressed mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor. The central feature is a two-storey square gabled porch made of dressed sandstone with brick dressings. The first floor has glazing bar sash windows, and the entrance door is a ribbed and studded part-glazed door beneath a wide, heavy gabled hood supported by wooden brackets, topped with a spike finial.
The garden front, which is to the right, also has two storeys and an attic, featuring three gabled metal frame casement dormers. The first floor has four windows, including three glazing bar sashes, while the ground floor has two "cross" windows and double casement doors positioned to the right of centre. The roofs are adorned with further ornamental stacks.
