Description
Woodlands is a house built around 1848, with later alterations from the late 19th century and mid-20th century. It features painted brick on a sandstone base and has a slate two-span roof with ridge end stacks. The building has a rectangular three-bay plan and is a single storey. The main east front is designed with a 1:3:1 bay arrangement; the central section projects forward and is gabled, adorned with moulded bargeboards on shaped brackets. The outer bays contain original 2-light casements, while the central section has a half-glazed door flanked by original single-light casements. There is a trefoil opening within a stone triangle at the apex of the gable. A rear parallel range is also present. Woodlands is one of 40 similar Chartist houses in Dodford, which were built mainly on four-acre plots by the Chartist Land Company. Each smallholding was intended to provide its occupant with an independent livelihood and the chance to qualify for a county vote.
