Wood End Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Dating from the 17th century, it was altered in the 19th century. The construction includes a stone plinth, scored stucco on handmade brick, and a slate roof. The building has a roughly L-shaped plan, comprising two bays with a projecting two-bay crosswing at the left end. The crosswing’s gable incorporates a porch in the angle, with a carried-down roof. The open outer doorway is segmental-headed, and the inner door is plain boarded. The crosswing's gable features one four-pane sash window on each floor, while the main range has two similar windows on each floor, a chimney on the ridge, and another at the right gable. Stone steps lead to a granary on the right gable. The rear elevation includes a continuous outshut with a door leading to the kitchen in the third bay and another door to the rear gable of the wing. A variety of smaller windows are also present, including a three-light sliding sash window at the first floor of the middle bay.

Inside, the kitchen in the third bay features an inglenook with a very large stop-chamfered bressummer; this room is unusually short, suggesting the partition wall is an insertion. Another room in the main range has two large lateral beams with deep rounded chamfer and run-out stops. Similar beams are found in the parlour (at the front) and cheese room (at the rear) of the wing. At the first floor of the wing, there are framed doorways to the bedrooms. The door frames are decorated with cyma-stopped chamfers, and the doors themselves are batten-and-board with three rows of studs, two ornamental strap hinges, and a wooden latch.
