Description
Wood Fold Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1696 on the lintel, constructed from sandstone rubble brought to courses, featuring quoins and a slate roof with two brick chimneys. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with a rear outshut added to the third bay. It stands two storeys high and includes a continuous hollow-moulded dripcourse that steps over the door lintel. There is a moulded doorway with a shaped lintel inscribed with "B T E 1696" in line with the ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays. The farmhouse has three windows on the ground floor and four above, all altered but retaining their original horizontal rectangular openings, with one chamfered mullion remaining in each at the ground floor and first floor.
At the rear, the middle bay features a mostly blocked 4-light housepart window, with geometrical leaded glazing visible in the fourth light, a blocked 2-light stairlight to the right, and a 2-light window on the first floor. Inside, the housepart includes an inglenook with an ovolo-moulded bressummer and two similarly moulded boxed beams. The kitchen has two chamfered beams, and there are some timber-framed and wattle and daub partitions.
