Wood Farmhouse

Wood Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1800. It is built of red brick and features a two-span plain tile roof. The building has three storeys over a basement, with a parallel two-storey range at the rear that includes a gable-lit attic. There are integral brick end stacks to the left and a rear range, as well as an external brick end stack to the right. The facade has five bays with segmental-headed glazing bar sashes made of crown glass. The central and left-hand first-floor windows have fixed dummy sashes. The central entrance door consists of six beaded flush panels, a margin-light, and a lozenge-pattern rectangular overlight, framed by a doorcase with panelled pilaster strips, a frieze, and a cornice. The left-hand gable end has two bays, featuring a rendered blind ground-floor window to the left and first- and second-floor left-hand windows with fixed dummy sashes. A Salop fire insurance plate is located in the gable. The rear of the building has three bays with glazing bar sashes, though there are 20th-century ground-floor windows and a central glazed door. The rear of the front range on the south-west side has blind windows on the first and second floors.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with an open string, cut brackets, stick balusters (two per tread), a ramped handrail, and a wreathed foot newel. The first-floor balustrade is present on two sides. Throughout the house, there are six-panelled doors with moulded architraves. The principal rooms feature moulded cornices and reeded soffits. The right-hand ground-floor room includes an early 19th-century marble fireplace surround. The rear range has reused timber framing in its internal cross walls and appears to be a slightly later addition, possibly a rebuilding of or on the site of an earlier timber-framed range, as indicated by a straight joint to the east. A coin dated 1730 has been found in the roof of the front range.
