Description

Woodside is a house, originally built around 1600 and extended in the 18th century, with further alterations and division into two houses in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed, with the lower part of the front facade cased or replaced in brick, and all covered in roughcast. It has steep roofs covered in old red tiles. It is a long, one-and-a-half-storey range, set back from the road and facing east, with six gabled dormers in the eaves. The windows are flush casement windows with two lights. There is a gabled porch to each house. A canted bay window is found in the left-hand bay of the southern house (Woodside). A front outshut is located in the northern bay of the northern house (No. 2).

Originally, the house was a three-room layout with an internal chimney and a lobby entrance, with the chimney positioned a third of the way from the north end. A later 18th-century chimney was added a third of the way from the south end, and a further bay was added to the south. When the house was divided, a continuous rear outshut and an extra bay were added to each end, leaving two bays of the original house and the old internal chimney in No. 2. The interior of Woodside reveals an exposed timber frame on the ground floor rear wall, and close-studding on the first floor front wall, with a clasped purlin roof.
