Description
Woodbridge Cottage comprises two cottages dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. They are constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a thatched roof and stone stacks finished in brick. Each cottage has a two-unit plan. The cottages are one storey high with an attic, and have a four-window front. Timber lintels are above the plank doors, and mid-20th century gabled porches have been added. There are 18th-century two-light leaded casement windows to the left, alongside 20th-century two-light casements to the right. Four half-dormers contain 18th-century two- and three-light leaded casements. The roof is gabled, with gable end stacks and a projecting bread oven to the right. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to be of interest.
