Description
Westholme Cottage is a house dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed and squared lias stone with free-stone dressings, featuring one rendered, one rubble, and one ashlar stack. The roof is covered with triple Roman tiles and has coped verges with bases for finials. The design is archaeologically correct in an early 17th-century style.
The cottage has two storeys and attics, with a symmetrical facade of three bays on either side. The windows are chamfered stone mullioned, with two, three, and four lights under stopped labels. The second and fourth bays project slightly, featuring front-facing gables. The right gable has a continuous weathered string at the ground floor, adorned with shield stops and initials "DC" and "EC" at each end.
On the left wing, there is a door opening framed by a moulded four-centred head stone surround, with carved spandrels and an emphasized keystone. The label above the door also has shield stops and the initials "RC." The paired ribbed doors are fitted with elaborate strap hinges.
To the left, there is a two-storey out-shut that is not of special interest. Inside, there are some small fireplaces with dressed stone surrounds. The cottage is believed to have served as the dower house for the Clarke family associated with Westholme House.
