Westcott House

Westcott House is a house dated 1720, likely with older origins and some 20th-century alterations. It is built of red brick in Flemish bond with flared headers, featuring a plain-tile roof and brick end stacks. The house has a three-unit plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a four-window range. There is a four-panel door to the right of the centre with an overlight and a straight hood supported by wrought-iron brackets, accessed by one stone step. To the far left, there is a blocked door, and a 16-pane sash window to the ground floor left of the door, with 12-pane sashes on the ground floor to the left and right, all featuring segmental-arched heads. The first floor has 12-pane sashes as well. The exterior includes a wave-moulded brick plinth, a storey band, and wood modillion eaves, along with a pair of gable roof dormer windows. A central datestone below the eaves is set in a square, wave-moulded brick recess and is inscribed with "R/RM/1720." Near the datestone are two Sun fire insurance plaques and another below, a Phoenix fire insurance plaque. The right side and rear elevations are rendered with incised masonry patterns, while the back wall appears to be timber-framed and may pre-date the front. There is a single-storey extension to the rear with a lean-to plain-tile roof and a two-storey wing to the rear left.

Inside, the house features chamfered spine beams and an open fireplace with a bressumer. The drawing room has a painted eared wood chimneypiece with a pulvinated frieze that is broken to the centre to frame a figure in relief of a standing cherub bearing a garland and cornucopia. The roof is a collar-truss design.
