Woodsend And No 1 Woodsend

Woodsend and No 1 Woodsend is a house that has been divided into two parts. It dates from around 1500 and has been extended and restored in the 1980s. The building features an exposed timber frame and plain tile roofs. The hall, known as Woodsend, has close studding at the front and large framing at the rear. The crosswing, No 1 Woodsend, is rendered on the rear ground floor. The hall includes a restored 6-light square mullioned and transomed window, with a 2-light casement dormer above it. There is a 20th-century porch and door in the cross passage position, and a 3-light casement window in what is reputedly a 20th-century wing to the right. The rear has a similar hall window. The two-bay hall features a tall cross quadrate crown post roof with thin 4-way bracing. The cross passage has a pair of doorways with 3 or 4-centre arches, although the spandrels of the right doorway have been replaced. A room in the position of the service wing is said to have been rebuilt and contains inserted panelling. There is an inserted stack against the passage that is partly mutilated, and the inserted hall ceiling has square joists. The rear passage doorway has a 4-centred head, which is probably restored.

No 1 Woodsend is a two-cell crosswing with a gable facing the road and is 2 and 2½ storeys high. It has an arch-braced frame, with some braces replaced, and an axial brick stack. The roadside features 20th-century oriel windows on the ground and first floors, along with a small inserted light for the 20th-century stairs. The left return has a central porch with a 20th-century door in a lobby entry position. There is a 3-light diamond mullion window to the left, a leaded 20th-century oriel to the right, and a small light above the porch. The rear has a rendered ground floor with a 20th-century door and window, and a 3-light diamond mullion window to the right, with a square light to the left. There are also two small attic windows above. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams and horizontal joists, along with a large open brick fireplace featuring chamfered arises. The stairs were formerly located behind the stack, and there are remains of a blocked window between the two ranges, as well as remains of an open truss by the stack.
