Description

Woodhouse Green Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a tiled roof, with the left side covered in stone slates. The building has verge parapets on the northeast sides and a brick end stack that is set back to the southeast. The layout is 'T'-shaped, consisting of a hall and a parlour cross wing.

The front of the house is divided into two parts: on the left, there is a projecting gable with lintel strings. A 20th-century three-light casement window is located in the attic, positioned at the bottom left of a larger blocked, dressed reveal. Below this, there is a similar but deeper window on the ground floor, set within a 17th-century chamfered reveal. To the right, there is a narrow blocked opening with an ovolo moulded reveal. A lean-to is slightly set back to the left, and to the right, there is a set-back range that is blind, featuring a central gabled, single-storey porch with a boarded door. Additionally, there is a mid-19th-century wing attached to the rear of the gabled part. The house has also been used as an informal non-conformist chapel.
