Description

Westfield is a late Georgian, two-storey building with a roughcast front featuring three plus one windows and a plinth. It likely has 18th-century origins and was extended to the west, when it was refronted with an advanced and taller open-pediment gable-ended cross range. The building has slate roofs with wide eaves on the left and brick chimney stacks. The windows are mainly small-pane sash windows with margins, including tripartite windows on the first floor of the cross range above a tall modern window. There is a circa 1900 sash-glazed splayed bay window on the ground floor to the right. A later pitched roof porch has an advanced door surround and a modern door. The side and rear elevations are similarly roughcast and feature various small-pane sash and modern windows, along with lean-to extensions at the rear.

Inside, the building retains a broad entrance hall and a staircase with a scroll-ended handrail, as well as an earlier narrow staircase leading to the rear fireplace.

Local climate

Westfield sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,190 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
