Description
Woodside Cottage is a house that likely dates back to the 17th century. It features a framed construction with the ground floor built in brick. The slender framing is exposed on the first floor, while the left side of the front elevation is covered in tiles up to the first floor. The roof is made of peg tiles and has a brick stack.
The house faces approximately north and is slightly set back from the road. It has a three-room lobby entrance plan, with the entrance located to the left of center, facing the axial stack. At the time of the survey in 1988, the details of the interior plan were unclear due to lack of access, but it is believed that the two left-hand rooms are heated by back-to-back fireplaces, with an unheated lower and service room to the right.
The exterior is two stories high and has an asymmetrical front with five windows. There is a 20th-century gabled porch at the lobby entrance, which reuses old timbers. The ground floor has three late 20th-century small-pane timber casement windows, while the first floor features a left window and a 19th or 20th-century two-light timber casement with four panes per light, along with four other first-floor windows that are also from the 19th or 20th century. The roof has half-hipped ends, and the axial stack has been rebuilt with triple shafts.
The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but it may still contain features from the 17th century. The roof construction might also be of historic interest, and an internal inspection could lead to a reassessment of the building's dating.
A photograph from 1957 in the National Monument Record indicates that there have been several alterations to the exterior since that time.
