Description
Westbrook is a house, now converted into flats, dating from the early 19th century with significant alterations in 1875. It is constructed of painted stucco with a slate roof, featuring stacks to the gable ends of the original block, the ridge, and to the right of the later block. The original block and the 1875 addition combine to form a T-plan, with a rear stair turret. The architecture is classical in style, incorporating some Picturesque Gothic details.
The original house has a 3-window front, while the 1875 block, to the west and south fronts, also features three windows. The early 19th-century section retains original cast-iron balconettes to the first floor and a verandah supported by cast-iron columns. The 1875 remodelling added castellated stacks, elaborately-leaded French windows, a cornice articulated by gabled pilasters rising through a high parapet, and a panelled parapet continuing around a large projecting canted bay with a hipped roof. This bay features French windows with heavy pointed-arched glazing bars and coloured glass spandrels in the overlights. A small, octagonal belvedere with a machicolated and castellated parapet and 20th-century windows projects from the angle of the bay.
A moulded Tudor arch with sunk spandrels and label mould sits above the rear entrance to the right return, leading to a door with vertical panels and overlight. Small, cinquefoil-headed windows to the sides are also topped with label moulds. Three trefoil-headed, two-light mullioned and transomed windows are located on the first floor, with a French window and cast-iron balconette directly above the entrance. The shafts of three small, castellated stacks are corbelled out to the first floor on the left side. The rear stair turret is castellated with label moulds to the single-light windows.
The interior is known to have been altered, with the staircase dismantled, although some fireplaces remain.
