Description

Old Woodbury House, along with its adjoining wall and gateway, is a house that dates from the early 18th century, with additions from the later 18th century and a replacement in the early 19th century in the Gothick style. The building is constructed of brick, rendered to resemble ashlar, with a tile roof on the main range and slate roofs on the 19th-century additions. It originally featured a lobby entrance plan, with a left-hand canted bay and right-hand and rear ranges. The house is two storeys tall with attics and has scattered windows.

The windows include various timber and metal casements set in stone surrounds with foiled heads, all beneath rectangular hood moulds. The ground floor features a French window with an embattled transom and coloured glass in the heads. The first-floor windows have patterned leaded glazing, some of which have been replaced. There is a buttressed porch with an embattled parapet and a pointed arched doorway, with a hood that has scroll stops. The timber door has Gothick glazed panels, and the side windows feature decorative leaded glazing. The original range has an embattled parapet and a moulded first-floor band with bosses that continues to the left-hand canted bay, which also has coloured glass in the ground floor window heads. The right-hand wing is three storeys and similarly treated.

Inside, the early 18th-century range has a staggered butt purlin roof. At the rear, there is an embattled gateway made of rendered brick, with rusticated turret-like piers topped with pyramidal tile caps that rise above the embattled parapets over the archway. The arch features rusticated voussoirs and a keystone. An embattled red brick wall connects the gateway to the house.
