Description

Westover Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with 18th-century additions and alterations made in the 20th century. It has plastered cob walls and a gable-ended thatched roof, with brick stacks at each end; the right-hand stack features a projecting rendered rubble base, a brick axial stack, and another stack at the rear of the outshut. The current layout consists of three rooms and a passage, although the original plan is unclear due to 20th-century changes. The central room seems too small to have been the hall, and evidence suggests that the left-hand room may be an 18th-century addition. All rooms are heated, but it is difficult to determine which stacks are original because of the alterations. An outshut runs along the rear of the house, likely added in the 18th century, and it also contains a fireplace.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front featuring early 20th-century two-light casements, except for a late 20th-century casement without glazing bars on the ground floor, which likely blocks a doorway. The first-floor windows are dormers set in small gables. There is a 19th-century stone gabled porch towards the right-hand end, with a segmental arch and a 20th-century part-glazed door behind it. The rear outshut extends the length of the house under a catslide roof. Inside, most early features, such as ceiling beams and open fireplaces, have been concealed by extensive 20th-century modernization, but the 18th-century roof structure, consisting of rough straight principal rafters, remains.
