Description
Wood Farmhouse, including an outbuilding adjoining to the south, is a farmhouse, coach house, and stables dating from the early 18th century, possibly with an earlier core. It is constructed of Flemish garden wall bond red brick and features a plain tile roof with corbelled brick eaves and gable ends, along with brick axial and gable end stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of two rooms in the front range with a central axial stack serving the northern room, which backs onto an entrance passage. The long wing behind the left room contains three rooms, including two unheated rooms and a kitchen heated from a gable end stack. There is a later outbuilding on the inner northern side of the rear wing. The stable and coach house range is attached to the southern end of the main range, featuring earlier timber framing in the rear wall and extending into the 19th century.
The exterior is two storeys with an attic and presents an asymmetrical two-window west front. It has three-light casements with glazing bars and cambered brick arches. The doorway is located to the right of centre, featuring a doorcase with channelled pilasters, panelled reveals, a rectangular overlight, a small canopy, and a panelled and glazed door. A platband runs at first floor level. The rear east side has two-light casements to the left and a long gable-ended wing on the right, which includes casements with cambered arches on the outer northern side, a gabled brick porch on the north end, an original three-light window, and a lean-to outshut on the inner southern side. The stable and coach house range at the southern end has boarded coach house and stable doors, a dormer on the front, and timber-framing in the rear wall, partly concealed by the outshut.
Inside, the left-hand room features a chamfered axial beam and a 20th-century chimneypiece. The unheated right-hand room has a chamfered cross-beam and chamfered joists. The back room of the rear wing contains a chamfered axial beam and a large fireplace with a cambered chamfered bressumer.
