Description
Low Woodifield Farmhouse is a farmhouse that probably dates from the early 17th century. It features a rendered exterior and a stone-flagged roof. The building is two storeys high and has two bays. The south elevation has a variety of window sizes with renewed glazing, while the right side has a blank half-bay that includes a one-storey 20th-century addition that projects forward, featuring a partly-glazed door on the inner return. The farmhouse has very thick battered walls and a lower second storey. The steeply-pitched roof is topped with a small chimney at the end. The left return gable has an external stack with multiple offsets that rise to the roof ridge. Inside, there are massive beams that are boarded over, and the roof structure is partly obscured but reveals pegged collared trusses, with principals crossed to support the ridge piece. The early 20th-century right extension is not of interest.
