Description
Woodlands Farm is a farmhouse, now a house, that dates from the late 15th century, with alterations from the 16th and 17th centuries, and additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor constructed of red and grey brick in Flemish bond and the first floor tile-hung. It features a plain tile roof. The open hall consists of two timber-framed bays, with a storeyed end bay to the right (south) and a left storeyed end bay that was rebuilt in the 19th century. There is evidence of a pre-17th century conversion of the right hall bay into a smoke bay.
The west elevation is two storeys high and sits on a flint plinth. It has an underbuilt gable-end jetty to the right and a steeply pitched hipped roof. A brick ridge stack is located to the right of centre in the shorter right hall bay. The fenestration is irregular, featuring two windows; there are none to the left or right, but there is one narrow leaded light and one two-light horizontally-sliding sash towards the centre. A stable door is positioned towards the left end, with a blocked doorway under the stack and French doors towards the right end. There is also a rear lean-to to the right.
Inside, the farmhouse displays exposed framing. Notable features include a moulded and brattished left end-of-hall beam, a partition above it with a central pair of ogee tension braces, and axial joists in the right end bay that are morticed for an axial partition. The principal posts have shaped jowls, and there is a cambered chamfered 'central' tie-beam with hollow-chamfered arch braces and a moulded octagonal crown post. Above the tie-beam is a slightly later wattle-and-daub partition, which is soot-blackened only on the right side. The interior also includes brick fireplaces with wooden bressumers.
