Description

Westende is a detached farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It originated as a two-bay structure in the 16th century and was rebuilt in the late 17th century, with eastward additions made in the late 18th century and a mid-19th century extension. The walls from the 17th century are rendered, while the 18th and 19th century additions feature Flemish bond brickwork. The roof is tiled and includes brick and limestone stacks, forming an L-shape.

The building is two stories tall with a four-window front. The central door, which dates from the 20th century, is located in the 18th century section and is sheltered by a rustic porch made from reused timbers. To the left of the door is a 20th-century casement window. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century casements to the left, while the right side, which is part of the 17th century, has two single recessed chamfered lights. The right return features a central blocked door flanked by 20th-century casements, and the catslide roof has two hipped dormers with casements.

At the rear, there is a 20th-century glazed conservatory on the ground floor, and the first floor has two 20th-century casements. The main range to the left includes a 20th-century casement on the return and 20th-century casements on both the ground and first floors of the gable. Although the interior is not accessible, it is reported to contain a late 17th-century open fireplace with a timber Tudor arch on chamfered brick jambs, and the late 18th-century addition features chamfered ceiling beams. Records from the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England indicate that the original 16th-century timber-framing included a jettied first floor on the west side, which is now encased by the 17th-century rebuild.
