Description

Westfield Farmhouse is a late 18th to early 19th century, two-storey farmhouse with a T-shaped layout. Originally built in a rectangular plan, it was extended shortly after its construction. The building is constructed of rubble sandstone, with the east and north elevations harled. The windows feature painted ashlar surrounds.

The east elevation has three bays, with the gabled wing of the original house set forward to the right. In the center bay of the addition, there is a lean-to glazed porch with a two-leaf door that has glazed upper panels, and a single window above it on the first floor. The advanced wing has single windows on both floors, and there are also single windows in the left return and in the outer left bay.

On the north elevation, there are three irregularly sized and positioned windows on both floors of the right half, with a single-storey wing attached to the outer right.

The west elevation features an advanced gabled wing on the outer left, with a piend-roofed single-storey wing adjoining it. There are single windows on both floors of the right return, a single window with a stair window above in the central bay, and another single window at the first floor in the outer right bay.

The south elevation has a single window on the left at ground level.

The interior was not seen in 1997. The farmhouse predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slate, and there are ashlar sandstone gablehead stacks topped with circular cans. The building also features cast-iron rainwater goods.

There is a single-storey, slate-roofed outbuilding immediately to the west of the piend-roofed west wing, which has four small-pane windows, a boarded door, stone skews, and a bracketed skewputt.

The boundary walls are made of random rubble with rubble coping, adjoining the house to the west and north.
