Westbrook House

Westbrook House is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with extensions added in the early 19th century and around 1920. It is constructed of rubble stone with stone slate roofs, and features a ridge stack and an east end stack. The north front has a four-window arrangement and incorporates flush quoins and 17th-century ovolo-moulded recessed stone mullion windows to the two right bays; these have three lights to each floor, with the lower window featuring a hoodmould. An attic gable above displays a similar three-light window with a hoodmould and leaded lights. To the left is a two-storey early 19th-century canted bay with 12-pane sashes, which are paired to the front and have continuous hoodmoulds. A further early 19th-century Greek Doric enclosed porch has a four-panel door and overlight, the pilaster responds indicating it was originally open. Above the porch is a 20th-century two-light mullion window. The end bay to the left also features a ground floor canted bay that matches that to the right of the door, and an early 19th-century triple casement above, complete with a hoodmould and relieving arch. The west end wall showcases 17th-century mullion windows and hoodmoulds, with a three-light window in the attic and a four-light window with a king-mullion on both the ground and first floors. A southwest rear wing appears to be mostly early 19th century, extended to the south around 1920. A parallel range to the east, partly red brick and dating from the early 19th century, contains a large oriel with 12-16-12 pane timber sashes. This range was also extended to the south around 1920. The main range retains its original rear gable with a blocked attic three-light window. A southeast rear wing, dating from around 1920, features a hipped-roof roughcast section in the angle. Inside, one ground floor room contains a six-panel compartmental ceiling with deep chamfered beams. The ridge stack is dated 1663. The house belonged to the Gaby family from the 18th century to the early 20th century.
