Woodhouse Farmhouse

Woodhouse Farmhouse is a public building that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the early 16th century and was altered in the early 19th century. The structure is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. It has four bays facing southwest, featuring a later 16th-century stack in the second bay from the left end, positioned against the front wall.

On the left end, there is a single-storey lean-to from the 18th or 19th century, which includes two stacks and a gabled oven to the left of the rear stack. Additionally, there is a single-storey extension at the rear of the left end, covered with a slate roof. Near the right end, there is a small two-storey closet extension from the 17th or 18th century. The building stands two storeys high with an attic.

On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights each. The first floor features three early 19th-century sash windows with 4 + 8 lights. The entrance includes an early 19th-century six-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, set within a moulded architrave adorned with paterae. The full-length jetty is underbuilt with painted brick. The left end of the roof is hipped and includes a lean-to dormer.

The building displays jowled posts, heavy studding, and stop-chamfered binding and bridging beams with step stops. The wallplates are also chamfered with step stops. Originally, the ground and first floors comprised an open area of three bays and a single bay at the right end, lacking an internal chimney. This unusual layout suggests that it may have originally served as a public building, such as a court hall or guildhall, and it is possible that it was relocated from its original site.

Inside, there are two internal cambered tiebeams, one of which retains an arched brace. The wallplates feature edge-halved and bridled scarfs. At the rear, there are two unglazed first-floor windows, one complete with two diamond mullions and the other with two of three diamond mullions. The building also contains 17th-century internal doors. The roof was rebuilt in the 20th century. Historically, before enclosure, this site faced a common to the southwest, as noted in Chapman and Andre's map from 1777.
