Woodhouse, East Cottage And Attached Cottages

This is a house, likely dating from 1709, as indicated by "W B 1709" inscribed on the door lintel. It is constructed of coursed rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The original design followed a three-unit hearth-passage plan, with a projecting porch of slightly later date and a projecting cross-wing to the left. A single-storey addition exists to the left, and there’s a later two-storey wing to the rear, now divided into two separate cottages.

The main house is two stories high and features double-chamfered mullion windows. The gabled cross-wing has two windows of two lights each, while the other two units on the ground floor have three lights. Each window is topped with a hoodmould. The porch has a coped gable with kneelers and ball finials. A new door was later inserted into the house section when it was converted into a separate cottage. The upper floor has two two-light double-chamfered windows on the crosswings, a four-light window above the porch, a three-light window above the hall, and a seven-light window to the right (now reduced to six). Quoins are present, and the gables are coped with kneelers and ball finials. The chimney stacks have moulded cornices.

The rear wing addition has four flush-chamfered three-light mullioned windows with hoodmoulds only to the ground floor. It features square-cut monolithic door jambs, ball finials, and a central chimney stack.
