Description

Weston House and the attached former Congregational Chapel are located in Weston-in-Gordano and date from the early to mid-19th century, with later alterations. The farmhouse is built of rubble with brick dressings and features a plain tiled roof with crestings and brick gable stacks. The Chapel is constructed from different rubble, partly rendered, with a pantiled roof that has raised coped verges and a stone stack.

The farmhouse consists of two parallel ranges with a two-span roof, and the former Chapel is attached to the right. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three large two-light casement windows, each with three panes, brick segmental heads, and limestone cills. The central entrance is a panelled and glazed door with a brick segmental head, and the eaves are corbelled. To the right, there is a single-storey pantiled connecting wing (stable) and the Chapel, which has a higher roof level and features two pointed arched single lights, some of which retain lattice glazing.

The left return of the farmhouse has a lower two-storey range at the rear, with a single and a three-light casement on the ground floor and a two-light casement on the first floor, all with flat heads. There is also a rendered single-storey lean-to on the left with a sash window that has a wider central pane. The right return has a small single light at the first floor of the front range, which is rendered.

At the rear of the main farmhouse, there are two two-light casements with timber lintels on the first floor, and a three-light casement with a segmental head on the ground floor to the left. A lean-to with a door to the inner side and a two-light casement is also present. The rear of the stable features a stable door with a segmental head made of three courses of brick and a ventilation slit to the right, along with a 20th-century rendered single-storey addition. The rear of the Chapel has a central doorway (with the door missing) and windows on either side similar to the front.

Inside the Chapel, there is a three-bay roof with principal rafters, one row of purlins, a ridge purlin, and scissors trusses, along with deep splayed reveals to the windows. The interior of the farmhouse is not accessible.
