Westhill Farmhouse

Westhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century that was modernised in the late 20th century. It features rendered walls that are mainly made of cob, with some sections of rubble. The roof is covered with asbestos slate, gabled on the left side and hipped on the right. There are two axial brick stacks and a 20th-century projecting lateral stack at the rear.

The farmhouse has an unusual layout consisting of four rooms arranged in a row, with the right-hand room designated for storage and having external access. There is a cross entry through the centre right-hand room, with an integral dairy located behind the hall, which is the room to its left. The hall stack backs onto the entry, while the room to the right, which has an entry through it, was likely the kitchen. The unheated inner room is at the left-hand end, and the storage room at the right-hand end has access only to the yard on the first floor.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front featuring four windows. There is a lower 19th-century addition at the left-hand end. The late 20th-century windows are small-paned three-light casements, with a small gable above the first-floor window to the left of centre. The right-hand part of the house has a lower roofline, and there is a leanto addition at the rear, right of centre, which includes a glazed door.

Inside, the kitchen has a granite-framed fireplace that is chamfered with pyramid stops on the jambs, and the hall has a similar fireplace. At the rear of the hall, there is a short section of plank and muntin screen. The rear partition to the dairy is constructed of studs, grooved for flush plaster, and features a cranked head door frame. A similar partition is found on the first floor above. The hall also has a framed ceiling with chamfered beams that have bar and step stops at the intersections. The roof contains one face-pegged clean jointed cruck that survives over the hall.
