West Woodhay House

West Woodhay House is a Grade I listed country house built in 1635, with alterations and additions made in 1881 by A.W. Blomfield. Some of these additions were removed in 1951. The house features English bond brick walls and plain tiled hipped roofs, with a rectangular plan that includes symmetrical cross wings on the east, a 19th-century pavilion on the north, and a 20th-century extension on the west. It stands two storeys high with an attic.

The exterior showcases a stone capped plinth, a raised brick band at the first floor, raised brick quoins, moulded brick architraves, and a terracotta eaves cornice adorned with egg and dart mouldings. The chimneys are brick panelled and arcaded, with offsets and corniced caps.

On the east elevation, the design is symmetrical, featuring two large glazing bar sashes with exposed frames and one flat-topped dormer in each cross wing, along with three glazing bar sashes with exposed frames and three pedimented dormers in the central portion. A central projecting stone-faced porch is supported by engaged Ionic columns, which hold up an entablature and blocking course. This porch includes a central inscribed stone dated 1635 and rusticated corners that form an arched opening for a pair of four-panelled doors, approached by eight moulded stone steps.

The south elevation has five glazing bar sashes with exposed frames and three flat-topped dormers above a central 19th-century square three-window bay, which features a panelled parapet inscribed with "penfla hortum meum 1635."

Inside, a room to the south contains bolection moulded panelling and a fine marble surround. The central staircase hall features an open well stair with turned balusters and carved square newels, beneath a papier-mâché ceiling depicting The Seasons.

West Woodhay House is significant as one of the earliest examples of the post-Jones Caroline house. Gables were added above the cornice during the 1881 alterations, along with other changes by A.W. Blomfield, which were later removed around 1950. The medieval church located to the southeast of the house was replaced by Sir John Vanbrugh around 1718, and this church was subsequently demolished by A.W. Blomfield in 1882.
