Description
Westlands Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse located on the south side of Westlands Lane in Melksham Without. The building is constructed of rubblestone and features a concrete slate roof with verges and ashlar stacks. It has an L-shaped plan and stands three storeys tall, with a window arrangement of 1:3:1. The central door is topped with a flat stone hood supported by pillars, and on either side, there are pairs of 2-pane sash windows with arched heads and imposts.
On the first floor, there is a string course and three pairs of 2-pane sash windows, also with arched heads and imposts. The central attic gable includes an oval oculus. The projecting gabled wings on either side are two storeys high and each has two paired 2-pane sash windows in cyma moulded cases, with a mullion on the ground floor. The first floor of these wings has a string course and one pair of 2-pane sashes in a cyma moulded case with a mullion.
At the rear, there is an inserted door to the left of centre, flanked by one 2-light cyma mullioned window on either side and a sash window to the right. The first floor features three 2-light cyma mullioned windows and one 2-light flat mullion window to the right. The Cotswold-type attic gable has one blocked 2-light cyma mullioned window.
An attached outshut to the right of the front, which was originally the dairy and cheesehouse, is now a dwelling. It is a single storey with paired casement windows and a Roman tiled roof. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have been altered.
