86, Lower Westwood

No 86 is a house located at the end of a row in Lower Westwood, dating from the 18th century, with some early Medieval work in the basement. The building is constructed of random rubble stone and has an artificial stone slate roof with a stone stack on the left. It is two stories high with an attic over a basement. The side facing the street features a planked door leading to the basement, a pair of 12-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, and a 20th-century attic dormer.

The left side of the house has a half-glazed door with a flat stone hood supported by brackets on the ground floor, and a 2-light cyma-mullioned casement window with a hoodmould on the first floor. There is also a projecting cylindrical bread oven to the right of the entrance door. A 20th-century addition has been made to the rear of the house.

Inside the basement, there are notable remains that may date back to the early 13th century, including two depressed segmental arches on a cylindrical pier with moulded capping and a damaged square abacus. The drawing room on the ground floor features an unusual bracketed stone shelf with early 13th-century ornamentation, including nailhead and scallops. This shelf is approximately 30 centimeters long and appears to have been reset in its current position. The drawing room also contains a late 18th-century beaded square fireplace surround with a bread oven and a semi-circular headed cupboard to the left. It is suggested that the arches in the basement may represent the remains of an undercroft belonging to a house from the early 13th century, although this feature has not yet been fully exposed.
