Description

Woodside Cottage is a range of timber-framed and plastered cottages, possibly dating from the 16th century, but significantly altered in the 18th century and later. It is now a single tenement with one storey and attics. The cottage features casement windows with leaded lights. The doorways have 4-centred arched heads and boarded doors with fillets. The roof is tiled and includes four gabled dormers.
