Westhill House is a villa built around 1830, featuring two storeys and an attic. The front is made of stugged ashlar with droved dressings. It has a central doorway that is corniced and includes a fanlight and side-lights. The windows still have their original 12-pane double sash glazing. The building is topped with a corniced blocking course, and the pitch of the roof is raised, incorporating two segmental roofed dormers in the attic. There are rectangular cavetto-corniced stacks on the flanks of the house.
