Description
The Woodman Inn is a public house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with cedar shingle cladding and some roughcast sections. The building has a steeply pitched half hipped thatched roof and consists of three small bays, standing one storey with an attic.
The gable end facing the road includes a ground floor 20th-century five-light small pane bow window and an attic two-light small pane casement. The right side has a cross casement window in the front bay and a two-light small pane dormer with eyebrow thatching in the rear bay. The left side is roughcast at the base and towards the rear, featuring a two-light window and an entrance through a 20th-century passage addition leading into the rear bay. At the rear, there is a one-storey lean-to outshut and an attic two-light casement. The building has a central axial ridge stack with a rebuilt capping. Inside, some framing is exposed, and there is a chamfered axial bearer. The one-storey 20th-century wings added to the rear and right are not of special interest.
