Description
Westgarty Lodge is a two-storey, five-bay house dated 1863, incorporating a late 18th/early 19th century core. The main house features a central doorway obscured by a two-storey drum tower with a conical roof and a side entrance. The exterior is all harled. Later additions are slightly set back, with paired ground floor windows. The centre of the drum tower has ground and first-floor windows, and four first-floor windows rise through the wallhead in barge-boarded gablets. The windows are fitted with 12-pane glazing. End and ridge stacks are corniced, and the roof is slate. A wing extends to the rear.
The interior has been significantly altered, but retains an Adamesque chimney piece in the ground floor drawing room. This chimney piece was brought from Hampshire by the current owners during the 1970s and is believed to be by one of the Adam brothers, with a signature on the rear.
A coped dry stone garden wall surrounds the property, incorporating four bee boles in the rear section. A small Grosvenor crest is positioned above the front door; it was fitted during the Grosvenor family's ownership in the mid-20th century. A parliamentary road constructed in 1810 ran through the grounds, and a small bridge from that date is located close to the house.
