Rowell Cottage Woodlea

Rowell Cottage, also known as Woodlea, consists of four houses built in the 17th century with later restorations. The structure features a timber frame with brick infill and has gabled roofs covered with old tiles. There are two partly renewed brick stacks on the front ridge, one stack at the rear, and another in the slope of the roof on the right return of the cross wing. The layout includes a three-unit plan plus a cross-wing.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The timber framing is three panels high with braced wall plates. The right end showcases 19th-century decorative barge-boards on the tile-hung gable head. The ground floor features a window with a two-light 20th-century small-paned casement alongside a three-light casement with leaded glazing above. The left return has a small two-light wood-mullioned window with leaded glazing, a re-entrant stack, and a ground-floor window in the main range with a two-light leaded casement. The right return includes a large lean-to addition to the left of centre, which has a window and an open porch, with a two-light leaded casement above and a stack on the roof slope. To the right, there is an entrance and windows with small-paned casements, while the rear features a 20th-century single-storey lean-to addition.

No. 22 has an entrance with a 20th-century door to the left of two windows with two-light glazing; the left window has an iron opening casement. There is a five-light wood-mullioned window with an iron opening casement on the first floor. No. 23 features an entrance with a 20th-century door and an open gabled porch; to the right is a window with a 20th-century small-paned casement, and a similar four-light casement is found on the first floor. The left return and rear wing have 20th-century casements.

The cottages are depicted in a painting from around 1696 located in the great hall at Charlecote Park.
