Westwood Cottage

House, built around 1800. The single-storey C19 and C20 additions to the north, east and west, and the C20 glazed porch to the south are not included.

MATERIALS: random stone-rubble walls and a thatched roof.

PLAN: a single-cell dwelling.

EXTERIOR: a one-and-a-half storey, two-bay house. It is topped by a half-hipped, thatched roof with a brick stack rising from the east end. The front elevation consists of a mid-C20 glazed entrance door to the left. To the right is a ground and first-floor two-light, timber-frame window with horizontal glazing bars. There is a 15-pane metal-frame window in the upper storey at the east end.

INTERIOR: the front door opens into a room with a fireplace and winder staircase at the east end. The timber stairs replace an earlier set and the fireplace was reopened in the mid-C20. There are exposed ceiling joists of various dates. A door in the west end leads through to the attached lean-to. The first floor has large timber floor boards, and a stepped chimney breast is visible at the east end. The A-frame roof has an exposed central truss and a single row of purlins.
