Description
Westbourne Cottage is a cottage that likely dates back to the 17th century and was altered in the mid-19th century. It features roughcast over rubble with a thatched roof. The cottage has an external stack on the left gable end and a large lateral stack on the center left, which includes a slate-roofed bread oven projection. The layout consists of three cells and a cross passage.
It is one and a half storeys tall with a 1:2 bay arrangement. The cottage has arch-headed, two-light leaded dormers, and the bay to the right of the stack is built out in line with the stack. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century leaded window to the left of a single-storey pentice hood that covers a double Roman tiled porch with a semicircular-headed door and diagonally boarded double doors. To the right of the stack, there are three-light ogee-headed leaded casements and a two-light casement.
The left side of the cottage has a double Roman tiled lean-to roofed addition that continues as an outshut at the rear, with two bays to the left of the external stack and a slate-roofed semicircular leaded bay to the right. The interior has not been seen, but a photograph is available in the National Monuments Record.
