Woodcock Lodge

Woodcock Lodge, now divided into five dwellings, has early 17th-century origins, although it was substantially remodelled and extended around 1900. The building is constructed of timber frame and brick, with later concrete additions, all rendered with roughcast. It has tiled roofs. The original layout is not entirely clear, but likely comprised a large 'L' shape, with a double-height main range and a wing to the rear right, extended by a second wing to the rear left, and a service block to the right.

The two-storey front elevation, which appears largely of circa 1900 design, features five bays with a central entrance. This has a nine-panel door with upper leaded glazing, a moulded surround, and a timber and tiled open porch. The central first-floor window is a two-light small-pane casement. Flanking the centre are full-height canted bays with small-pane casements and hipped roofs. Casements in the outer bays incorporate a second entrance and an open porch added to the right. Axial stacks feature clustered diagonal shafts. A parallel range extends to the rear, projecting slightly further to the right. The left return has a hip to the front and a gable end to the rear range, with a stack behind the gable and a moulded cap to two diagonal shafts. Large four- and five-light flush iron frame casements are present. A circa 1900 wing extending to the rear has a three-light casement, a hipped dormer, and gable end four- and five-light casements. The garden elevation displays a roughly half-H shape; the main range has a central architraved entrance with a bracketed hood and flanking lights. Two first-floor four-light casements are also present. Towards the right end of the main range is a straight joint where it steps back to reveal a large 17th-century red brick external stack with offsets, a moulded cap, and two diagonal shafts. A similar stack is located on the inner elevation of the circa 1900 wing. The wing to the left appears earlier, though its external appearance is similar. The service block is linked only to the rear range and is gable-fronted. The right return features a triple gabled profile, with a central projecting attic on brackets and a small three-light leaded pane casement. A single-storey later 20th-century addition is also present. To the rear, later 20th-century single-storey lean-to and gabled additions have been built.

Inside, the early rear wing retains a moulded, flat-headed stone fireplace with carved brackets and early 17th-century ovolo moulded plaster panelling. The later rear wing has good circa 1900 raised and fielded panelling. The building stands within a partially moated site.
