Westwood House, Grade I listed building in Westwood, England.
Description
Westwood House is a Grade I listed building featuring a square central section with four projecting wings and large bay windows across its three-story facade. The structure has been divided into twelve apartments while preserving its original architectural character.
History
The house began as an Elizabethan banqueting hall around 1600 before receiving architectural additions during the Caroline period. It later served as a refuge for Royalist supporters during the English Civil War in the 1600s.
Culture
The house sits within Westwood Park, a registered historic landscape that shapes how visitors experience the surrounding grounds. The setting reinforces the connection between the building and its parkland heritage.
Practical
The building is now residential and divided into private apartments, so access to the interior is not available to visitors. You can view the exterior and surrounding parkland from public pathways in the area.
Did you know?
The four extending wings reflect deliberate Caroline-era additions to the original Elizabethan core, making the building a record of two different periods merged into one structure. This layering of architectural styles happened over the course of the 1600s without major reconstruction.
