Description

Wood House Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-17th century, possibly consisting of two separate builds. It is a single pile house with two storeys and features an early 19th-century gabled two-storey wing at the rear, creating an 'L' shape. The building is constructed of brick and covered with red pantiles.

The garden front has five ground floor and five first floor 20th-century wooden casement windows with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there is one surviving rendered chamfered brick two-light mullion window. An off-centre part-glazed door with reveals and architrave is located to the west, along with at least one 20th-century boarded door. The house has a ground floor plinth, a first floor platband, and a diagonally set dog-tooth eaves cornice. The brick kneelers and crow-stepped gables have been renewed. There is an off-centre stack, which may indicate the original lobby entrance plan or could be the end stack of the earlier build, along with two end stacks and a steeply pitched roof.

Inside, the house contains three rooms on the ground and first floors, featuring stopped and chamfered spine beams and cross beams.
