Westwood Farmhouse

Westwood Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an early 18th-century addition and a 19th-century wing. It is constructed from random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar window and door dressings, one ashlar chimney with a moulded cap, and two red brick chimneys, all under a stone slate roof.

The original 17th-century section is two storeys with an attic, while the 18th-century addition to the northeast is also two storeys. The 19th-century wing to the northwest forms an L-plan and is single storey with an attic, along with a single-storey hipped lean-to at the north end.

The southeast front of the 17th-century house has a single window arrangement, including a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned window in the attic gable, a two-light window below, and a three-light window on the ground floor, all featuring hood moulds. The gable has a cross roll saddle and a stone finial, with an ashlar chimney stack at the ridge of the northeast gable.

The 18th-century addition has a single window arrangement with a chamfered two-light mullioned window above a small two-light window, which has a very thick monolithic surround that may have been reused from a medieval building, similar to a window in the south face of Syde church tower. The northeast gable end has a single window added to each floor in the 20th century, both timber casements with timber lintels, and a small slit window at the back of this wing with a stone lintel.

The northeast front of the 19th-century wing features a two-window arrangement with a deep stone lintel over a central doorway, which has chamfered jambs and a timber plank door. To the left is an 18th-century two-light window that must be reused, while to the right is a casement in a segmental arch and two attic casements, each in small gables with timber lintels. The southwest side of the 19th-century wing has scattered fenestration, mainly casements, with some late 20th-century alterations. A doorway with a flat timber hood on brackets and a plank door is roughly central. The 17th-century house likely represents the remaining half of a more substantial building.
