Description

Westfield Farm House is an earlier 19th-century, single-storey classical house featuring three bays and a sunken basement. The exterior is constructed from harled and painted rubble with painted ashlar dressings, broad angle pilasters, a base course, a cornice, and a blocking course.

The front elevation has a central bay that is slightly advanced and pedimented, which includes a Doric columned doorpiece with an entablature. The entrance features a four-panelled door set within a recessed arch and a segmental fanlight above. Flanking the entrance are tripartite windows with stone mullions that are droved and chamfered. The side elevations have bipartite windows that are set back, and there is a sunken window in the basement on the north side.

All windows are narrow and contain six lying panes, which have been recently renewed and include horns. The roof is low-pitched and piended, recently replaced with upgraded grey Spanish slate and includes vents. There are two main harled stacks, each with a single plain can.

To the west, there is a long extension of plain form, which varies in age; the easternmost part is likely contemporary with the main house, while the westernmost section dates from the 1990s. The fenestration consists of timber sash and case windows, mostly renewed 12-pane designs with horns. This roof is also piended and has been recently renewed in ungraded grey slate, with vents.

At the end of the drive to the north, there are gatepiers made of square-section sandstone ashlar with a projecting cope and pyramidal cap, accompanied by a plain metal gate. These gatepiers adjoin a tall garden wall to the west, which is constructed from random rubble with a rounded cope.
