Description

Woodlands is a former farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with some parts rebuilt and extended in the early 20th century. The building features framed construction on brick footings, a peg-tile roof, and brick stacks. The early 20th-century rebuilding is designed to match the style of the original structure.

The house faces north and consists of a main range that has been rebuilt in the early 20th century, with a 17th-century crosswing on the left (east) end. The crosswing is heated by a stack located at the junction with the main range, and there is a direct entry into the main range to the left of center.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic in the crosswing. The framing is widely spaced, and the early 20th-century rebuild matches the framing of the crosswing. The front has an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, with one window in the crosswing on the left, which has a half-hipped roof. The main range has a gabled roof at the right end. A 20th-century front door is located to the left of the main block, featuring a gabled porch. The main block has two sets of three-light metal-framed casements on each floor. The attic of the crosswing jetties on carved brackets with pendants and has a moulded fascia. There is a two-storey canted bay window in the crosswing, with early 20th-century metal-framed casements that retain possibly late 17th-century quadrant catches. The left (east) return of the wing shows its original framing down to the brick footings. The rear has various additions, including a flat-roofed two-storey wing, an outshut, and a pentice roof.

Inside, the crosswing retains 17th-century carpentry, featuring chamfered scroll-stopped ceiling beams along the long axis and exposed joists on both floors. The roof of the wing has a clasped purlin construction.

While only a fragmentary survival of a traditional house, Woodlands is attractive in appearance.
