Westwood House is a stately home, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. It has been subdivided into twelve self-contained apartments. The house has origins as an Elizabethan banqueting hall with Caroline additions and is a Grade I listed building.[2] It was for several centuries the seat of the Pakington family.[3][4] Situated west of Droitwich, it lies in the centre of its former estate, Westwood Park, which is Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[5]
With its four diagonal wings, added to the original, early-17th century house at some time later in the same century,[6] the house's design was a precursor of the Butterfly plan which became popular in the 19th century.[7]
