Westwood Farmhouse

Westwood Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with later alterations. It features herringbone-tooled limestone and a pantile roof. The building has a central staircase plan, is one room deep, and includes a rear service wing. The symmetrical front has two storeys and three windows, with a central four-panel door that has a divided overlight above. The windows are four-pane sashes with stone sills, and all openings have tripartite keyed lintels. There is a raised band at the first floor level, a cavetto moulded eaves cornice, and coped gables with shaped kneelers and end stacks on the steeply-pitched roof.

Inside, the farmhouse retains original raised and fielded wall panelling of the highest quality, along with panelled doors and brass fittings that are in excellent condition throughout, including in the attic. In the ground floor room to the right, there is a moulded bressumer with a shelf and alcove cupboards on either side. The first floor room to the right features a surviving firehood. The closed string dogleg stair has a moulded handrail and turned balusters, enclosed in panelled plank and muntin partition walls. The ground and first floor rooms to the left have raised and fielded panelled overmantels, flanked by alcove cupboards with panelled doors on H-L hinges. In the attic, a pair of collared crucks has been reused to form the central roof truss, and the rafters are inscribed with Roman numerals. The remarkable panelled fittings have survived without paint, only lightly waxed.
