Description
Lower Woodcott Farm consists of a pair of cottages that were originally built as one house in the 17th century. The structure features a three-bay lobby entrance and was altered in the late 18th century to create two separate cottages, with a late 18th-century service addition to No 6 and a 20th-century addition to No 7. The original part of the building is primarily constructed of flint with red brick dressings on a brick plinth, while the right side has a late 18th-century extension built in Flemish bond brick. The cottages have a half-hipped thatched roof with three brick chimney stacks and are one storey high with attics, featuring three windows on No 6 and five on No 7. The windows are mainly casements, with cambered-headed windows on the ground floor fitted with metal casements, and there are eyebrow dormers. Both cottages have late 18th-century brick porches with gables, cambered heads, and keystones. The doors are made of planks, and there is a brick stringcourse. Inside No 6, there is a large fireplace bressumer with run-out stops and a bread oven, as well as a queen post roof.
