Harley House 500 Metres Along Lane on East of Woodside

Harley House is a house located 500 metres along the lane to the east of Woodside, dating from the 17th century or earlier, with alterations made around 1920. The building has two storeys and is timber-framed with a plastered exterior facing south. It features an Arts and Crafts-style gable entrance on the eastern end that faces the lane. The roof is gabled and covered with red tiles, topped by a tall 17th-century chimney located one-third from the eastern end, which has three conjoined diagonal shafts. There is also a small external gable chimney on the western side.

The house has a three-unit, former lobby entry plan with back-to-back fireplaces at the upper end of the hall. A modern lean-to has been added to the service end on the western side. A two-storey addition was constructed along the northern side around 1920, which includes corridors and stairs; the timber frame and wall plate are exposed inside, indicating that the walls have been raised and the roof reconstructed. Weathered timber framing is visible in the western lean-to.

Inside, the parlour features an axial chamfered beam and squared joists, along with a 17th-century, depressed, four-centred arched brick fireplace made from reused bricks, which has 'IC 1840' built into it. There is also an 18th-century three-light casement window on the southern side. The hall, which is the middle room, likely has an inserted floor supported by a heavy chamfered cross beam with wide flat joists running axially, and a heavy ogee-moulded shelf above the fireplace. A square two-storey bay window was added to the southern side around 1920, along with a fine 17th-century four-centred chamfered brick fireplace in the chamber above the hall.

The southern front of the house has one and a half storeys, with a timber member at the former eaves level. There are early 18th-century two-light and three-light mullioned wooden windows with iron casements. The two-storey gabled square bay added around 1920 features a matching four-light window, along with false timbering and a bargeboard on the gable. Small windows are located under the eaves. The eastern gable end is plastered, with the upper floor projecting on brackets at the old tie beam level, and features false timbering and roughcast. A plank door is set into the brickwork on the right side, and there are three-light leaded casements.
