Description
Woodhouse Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered and is now used as a single dwelling and dentist's surgery. The building features irregularly-coursed rubble sandstone, which is partly roughcast, and has a Welsh slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high, with two windows on the first floor. The left window is in a lower, gabled wing that projects to the rear. The roughcast front elevation includes a chamfered, quoined doorway with a deep lintel. To the right, there is a 20th-century, three-light, transomed casement window, while to the left is a 20th-century casement window in a 19th-century projecting square-faced surround, with similar windows on the first floor. The asymmetrical left gable has chamfered copings and a finial, while the right end gable features kneelers and similar copings, along with a base for a finial. A renewed brick ridge stack is positioned above the door.
At the rear, the walling is exposed and has large quoins. There is a single-light, double-chamfered window on the first floor, and the wing has altered fenestration with remnants of 17th-century surrounds. The right return includes a single-storey addition, which is not of special interest, beneath a sash window that is in the position of former mullioned windows, with remains of a dripstone. There is also a blocked, double-chamfered attic window with two lights and a dripstone. Inside, the principal-rafter trusses are exposed in the wing.
