Bartholomew House

Bartholomew House is a Grade II* listed house located on Market Street in Woodstock. The building dates from the early 17th century on the left side, was refronted in the late 18th century, and features a late 17th-century section on the right. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with coursed limestone rubble, and has a roughcast front. The roof is gabled and covered with stone slates, featuring end stacks made of stone finished in brick. The house is L-shaped with a rear right wing and has two storeys plus an attic.

On the right side, there is a late 17th-century two-window range that includes fine wrought-iron scroll brackets supporting a flat hood over a late 18th-century six-panelled door with an overlight. Above the door, there is a flat stone arch over a blocked window, and four late 18th-century or early 19th-century six-pane sash windows. The mid-19th-century gabled roof dormers have three-pane sashes set in moulded wood architraves. The left side features a gabled bay with a 17th-century two-storey gabled square bay window, which has 19th-century casements with glazing bars on the ground floor and a late 17th-century Ipswich window with leaded lights on the first floor. A late 18th-century plank door is set in a chamfered wood architrave at the rear of the central passage.

The late 17th-century two-storey rear right wing is built of similar materials and has flat stone arches over three late 17th-century cross windows with leaded lights at the rear gable. Inside, the house features chamfered beams throughout, with a central passage that has a 19th-century panelled dado. The late 17th-century quarter-turn stairs have winders and turned balusters set on closed strings. There is a bolection-panelled room dating from around 1680 to 1700 in the rear right. The first floor includes late 17th-century fireplaces with bolection-moulded architraves, a bolection-panelled overmantle, a moulded cornice, and a panelled dado in the rear right room. The early 17th-century block to the left of the passage has late 17th-century bolection panelling in the first-floor room, while the ground-floor room features a rare late 17th-century bread cupboard with butterfly hinges and a niche with carved shelves, a canopy, and late 17th-century cupboard doors. The roofs have collar trusses with butt purlins, though the roof of the early 17th-century block has not been inspected.
