Westminster Buildings

Westminster House and Westminster Buildings.

A mirrored pair of 2-storey cottages in Georgian style. Constructed of large blocks of snecked pecked sandstone with quoins under slate roofs with brick end stacks. Details include a moulded stone eaves cornice and square hoodmoulds over openings, which have chamfered surrounds. The doorways are grouped towards the centre, each cottage with a flanking window; 3 windows to upper storey, symmetrically arranged. The doorways contain panelled doors with overlights, the windows have stone sills and hornless sashes, the glazing bars missing. The upper storey windows are shorter (probably 3-over-6-pane originally) but the central window is blind. Steep lean-tos to each gable end with no openings to front. The sides of the lean-tos each have 2 small C20 windows. Rubble stone gables above. Rear upper storey has a sash to the outer side of each cottage, as front, with a single-pane window to the inner side, all with stone lintels. Lower storey not visible.

No access to interior at time of inspection.
