Description
Woodlands is an 18th-century L-plan house located on the south side of Earith High Street. It is constructed of local yellow brick and colour-washed brick, topped with a red plain tile roof featuring shallow tumbled parapet gables and end stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a band between the floors and a facade parapet that includes a deeply moulded brick cornice.
The front features two flat-roofed dormers with moulded dentil cornices and a central gabled dormer, all fitted with horizontal sliding sash windows that have glazing bars. The symmetrical arrangement includes four recessed hung sash windows with glazing bars set in cambered arches, along with a central first-floor Venetian window, which has a modern insertion. The ground floor has similar hung sash windows.
The central doorway is framed by a doorcase that has panelled reveals, fluted pilasters, a Doric frieze, a dentil cornice, and a triangular pediment. The door itself is a six-panelled design with a semi-circular fanlight above. At the rear, there is a 17th-century range that is one and a half storeys high, timber-framed, and ends with a tumbled brick parapetted gable wall, covered by a plain tile roof. Additionally, there are three brick piers with stone ball finials at the side entrance.
