Description

Woodlands Farmhouse is probably a mid-17th century rebuilding of an earlier house, although it was altered in the 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of flint with brick quoins and dressings, and has a half-hipped old tile roof. A large 19th-century extension projects to the east, and a further extension to the north creates a room over the porch. Other additions largely obscure the original structure. Inside, features include exposed ceiling beams and a large fireplace.

Woodlands Farmhouse sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
