Description

Westwood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with a 19th-century addition. The building features partly rendered rubble and cob walls, topped by a hipped thatch roof. There is a rendered brick stack at the left-hand end and one lateral stack on the front wall, along with a brick stack at the end of the rear wing. The plan is L-shaped, consisting of two rooms with a central entry at the front. The right-hand room is heated by a lateral stack on its front wall, and behind it is another heated room. A 19th-century lean-to is located behind the left-hand room.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has two windows, featuring early 20th-century three-light casements. The right-hand side of the front is blank. There is a central 20th-century lean-to porch with a part-glazed door, and behind it is an early to mid-19th-century six-panelled door. The right-hand side of the house has a regular two-window elevation that looks down the valley. There is a substantial wing behind the right side and a lean-to behind the left side. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey but may contain original joinery.
