Description

Wood Top is a house dating from the mid-17th century, which includes an early 19th-century cottage and barn that have been converted into a single dwelling. The property is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high, with the 17th-century section designed as a cross-wing. This part has a plinth, a cavetto moulded string course, and a coped gable with kneelers and finials. The gable displays a double chamfered mullioned and transomed window with eighteen lights, featuring two king mullions, and a similar window is present on the first floor. The left-hand return wall includes a cross-window with a two-light window above it. There is an inserted 19th-century doorway with monolithic jambs.

Attached at right angles is a single-cell cottage that has a flat-faced mullioned window with two lights and a similar window above. A re-used engraved stone on the property reads: V EHOROSICKVITO/ 1 6 5 7 / W C, which may translate to "as the hour passes so passes life."

At a lower level, there are cottages and a barn that now form part of the same dwelling. The barn features a semi-circular cart entry, while the cottages have flat-faced mullioned windows with two and three lights, and quoins. There is a single stack on the cross-wing. At the rear, there is a three-cell cottage range with a single-pitched roof, also two storeys high. The ground floor has a chamfered mullioned window with three lights and two double chamfered mullioned windows with six lights, while the first floor has three flat-faced mullioned windows with five lights and two stacks along the ridge.

Inside the cross-wing, there is a large elliptical arched fireplace and reeded spine-beams and joists.
