Description
Westmorland House is a late 18th-century building that was altered in the mid-19th century when shop and first-floor windows were added. It is constructed from stuccoed stone rubble and stands three storeys tall, with three windows on each upper storey. The first-floor windows feature round-arched heads and plain keystones. The ground floor boasts an elaborate Victorian shop front made of iron, which includes twisted columns on fluted bases, foliated Composite capitals, and round arches with cusped roundels in the tympanum. The shop front consists of a central door flanked by windows, with one arch on the re-entrant side and two arches on the front, topped with a fascia and cornice that extends across the entire front.
