Description

The Westleigh Inn, which includes a barn attached at the right (east) end, is a public house that likely began as a tenement farmhouse. It may have origins dating back to the early 16th century and was remodeled, probably in the 17th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The barn is from the 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered stone rubble and some cob, topped with a slate roof. It features a tall rendered former hall stack with offsets and a tapered cap, along with a rendered stack at the left end.

Originally, the inn had a three-room through-passage plan with a front lateral hall stack, but the partitions for the through-passage and hall/inner room have been removed to create two larger rooms. There is a 20th-century right-angled rear wing of two storeys, giving the overall structure a T-shaped plan. The inn is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The windows are 19th or 20th-century two-light casements, with four panes per light in the two centre windows, and two panes per light at the right end, as well as two panes per light with margin glazing bars at the left end.

A gabled slate roof covers the porch that leads to the former through-passage, which has a plank door with the upper half glazed. There is also an inserted plank door providing entry into the former hall to the right of the stack. Concealed by the barn at the right gable end is an early timber mullion window featuring two pointed trefoil-headed lights. The adjoining barn, which is at a higher elevation, has double plank doors flanked by two lean-tos, with the right lean-to having a scantle slate roof. The roof structure of the inn has been entirely replaced in the 20th century.
