Description

Wood Farmhouse is a detached house built in the late 18th century, with some additions from the same period. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features quoins. The stone slate roof has ashlar gable stacks with a string course. The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical facade with a central doorway located in an added stone porch, which has a 2-light window above it. There are 3-light windows on both floors to the left and right of the porch. The porch itself is gabled and has moulded coping on cut kneelers, one of which is dated 1608. The doorway has a Tudor arch with sunken spandrels and a deep hood mould. There are small chamfered lights with hood moulds on each side of the porch, and a blind quatrefoil in a round panel in the gable. At the rear, there is an outshut to the right and an addition to the left, which features a 4-light window on the ground floor and a 5-light window (with one blocked light) on the first floor, located on its left side.
