Description
Westgate Farmhouse and the adjoining barns date from the mid-18th century. The building features painted and rendered walls with V-jointed quoins and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof that has rendered chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays, with a barn to the left that shares a common roof and a lower right-angled barn extension. The entrance includes a panelled door set in an alternate-block surround. The windows are sash types framed in painted stone architraves. The barn has a plank door and a casement window next to a loft doorway, along with slit vents. The extension features large double doors, a casement window, and a smaller right doorway, also under slit vents.
