Wood Shutt Farmhouse

Wood Shutt Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was externally built in the mid-19th century but contains a core dating back to around 1500. The core is timber framed and constructed using cruck techniques, with the exterior clad and partly rebuilt in brick. It has a plain tile roof and a brick ridge stack. The principal range is aligned east-west and faces south, with a 17th-century wing at the rear, creating a T-shaped plan. The building has two storeys and features a three-window front with casements and a central door.

Inside, the rear wall of the west bay is timber framed, consisting of square panels and featuring an ogee-headed doorway at its western end. There is a spine beam with ovolo-moulding. The central room has two main beams with cyma recta mouldings and stops, along with chamfered and stopped joists, each beam having a central groove along its soffit. The rear wing also displays exposed wall framing, including square and large rectangular panels. On the first floor, a doorway with a cambered head connects to the main range. A cruck truss is located between the western and central bays of the main range, visible only in the loft. The eastern side shows smoke blackening, indicating that the current central bay was originally a single-storey hall with an open hearth. The cruck apex is of the Alcock type C.
