The Woolhouse

The Woolhouse is an 18th or early 17th-century oasthouse and granary, later converted into a house, located in Hunton. The building is constructed of red and grey brick, with alternating courses of plain red stretchers and alternate red stretchers and grey headers creating a pattern of punctuated strings of headers. It has a plain tile roof. The structure is two storeys high and features a plat band and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. A steeply pitched hipped roof rises to a brick stack situated in the rear slope towards the centre, complemented by three hipped dormers. The front facade has a regular arrangement of five windows, featuring recessed two-light wooden casements, with the three central windows more closely spaced. Segmental relieving arches are above the ground-floor windows. A late 17th-century style panelled door is centrally positioned, topped by a short, flat corniced hood supported on shaped brackets. The interior, only partly inspected, reveals heavy-scantling beams of a non-domestic appearance. Previously known as the Granary and Oasthouse at Grove Farm.
