Woodbrook House

Woodbrook House is a house built around 1845 for J de Castro and extensively rebuilt in 1906 by C F A Voysey for A Heyworth. It features cream brick, partly roughcast, with brown sandstone dressings and a Welsh slate roof, along with two plastered chimneys. The north front is two stories high and has four bays, topped with two gables and roughcast. To the left, there is a tall two-light mullioned and twin transomed window that lights the staircase, and next to it is a semi-circular headed opening to the porch, which has a label mould above. The remaining windows include three typical Voysey mullioned windows and a circular light. The garden front, also in cream brick, has two large lunettes below and mullioned windows above.

Inside, the house is largely unaltered, featuring closely set plain balusters in the staircase with square mushroom finials on the newels. There are three large tiled fireplaces, one of which includes Voysey's columns, and a built-in astragal glazed bookcase in the first-floor corridor. The door furnishings throughout the house are of good quality. Woodbrook House is a unique example of Voysey's work in Cheshire.
