Description

Westhall Farm is an earlier 19th century, two-storey farmhouse designed in a T-plan. It is constructed from coursed and squared stugged rubble sandstone, featuring some snecking and margined ashlar dressings, topped with a grey slate roof. The farmhouse has 12-pane sash and case windows, some of which are blind with painted astragals, alongside various out-of-character timber replacements on the side elevations. The south elevation has an eaves course, piended roofs, and tall wallhead stacks.

The south elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central panelled door with a plain fanlight and moulded cornice, accessed by three steps, flanked by a window on each side and three windows on the first floor.

On the east elevation, there are advanced bays on the left, with a 12-pane window at the ground floor left, a blind window at the first floor, and a window at both the ground and first floors on the right. A recessed wing on the right has a door and three windows at the ground floor (with the centre window formed from a blocked door) and three windows at the first floor, with the centre window being blind. The right return gable is blank and features a lean-to with a corrugated asbestos roof at the ground floor.

The west elevation has advanced bays on the right, with a 12-pane window at the ground floor right, a blind window to the left and above right, and modern glazing in the window at the top left. The recessed wing on the left contains two windows at both the ground and first floors, along with a small stone addition in the re-entrant.

Inside, the principal rooms feature foliate cornices and ceiling roses, some original chimneypieces and shutters, and decorative cast-iron balusters. There are also remains of a box bed in the first floor of the service wing.

The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls on the south and west sides.
