Description
Woodlawn is an early 19th-century house. It is faced with channelled render, with a slate roof. The building has an irregular plan and stands two storeys high with a cellar, on a rendered stone plinth.
The south (entrance) front has a projecting right-end bay. The front room of the left-end bay juts out further than the rest of the house. A moulded rendered plat band runs above the ground and first-floor windows. There is a plain lead-capped parapet and a rendered ridge stack towards the left end. The front has a regular pattern of four windows: three recessed 12-pane sash windows, and a tripartite sash to the right projection, all with Venetian shutters. Intertwined initials decorate the ground-floor shutters. A raised band sits above the plat band over each ground-floor window. A single-storey rendered porch stands in the angle between the main range and the right projection, featuring chamfered corners, a moulded cornice, and a plain parapet that steps up over the doorway. The porch has half-glazed double doors with side and top lights and a segmental head.
The east (garden) elevation continues the plat band and parapet from the front. Two rendered stacks flank a central break. Five 12-pane sash windows are arranged regularly, with some thin glazing bars and painted splayed voussoirs; three are closely spaced within the central break, and one is more widely spaced towards each end. A broad single-storey bow spanning the break contains three 15-pane sashes with blind boxes. An incised border defines the bow, and there are incised panels within the bow's parapet. Two moulded, semi-circular stone steps lead to the central window. Single-storey service rooms fill the north-west corner of the house.
Inside, the entrance hall and ground-floor corridor are tessellated with blue, brown, and peach tiles. There's a plaster cornice with paterae, and consoled arches at each end of the corridor. A semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars is positioned behind the north end arch, illuminating the corridor from the north-east room. An elliptical geometrical staircase is centrally located on the west side, with stick balusters, carved cheeks, and a wreathed inlaid handrail. Panelled doors open off the ground-floor corridor. The ground-floor rooms have enriched plaster cornices, while the first-floor cornices are plainer. The house has marble fireplaces and service stairs.
