Description
Woodyard Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located on Main Street in Greetham. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins and features a Collyweston slate roof, which has stone coped gables and a central ridge moulded stone stack. The gable facing is at the front to the right.
The cottage has two storeys and three windows on the front elevation. From the left, there is a three-light casement window on both floors, a stone gabled porch with a two-light stone mullion above it, and another three-light stone mullion window on both floors. There is a small 20th-century single-storey extension at the right end and a wing, which has been remodelled in the 20th century, extending forward from the left side of the front. The rear of the cottage features two two-light windows and two one-light windows.
Inside, the cottage includes beams and a spiral staircase opposite the door, with a double inglenook fireplace behind it, although one beam has been renewed.
