Woodbine Cottage And Cottage By The Church

Woodbine Cottage and Cottage by the Church is a house and cottage located on Chapel Lane in Filkins. The Cottage by the Church dates from the 17th to early 18th century and features a small 20th-century link to a late 18th to early 19th-century wing. The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone and has stone slate roofs with rebuilt stone chimneys.

The original block is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays. It has three-light chamfered stone mullion windows with Tudor hoodmoulds and a central hipped roof dormer with a two-light leaded casement. In the centre, there is a board door set in a chamfered stone surround, topped with a flat stone slab hood supported by shaped stone brackets.

To the left, a later 18th-century extension projects at an angle, featuring two lower storeys and one bay, with a chimney on the left side. Attached to the rear corner of the original right bay is a 20th-century link that includes a re-used arched window above a door. The later 18th to 19th-century wing, which was formerly separate cottages, is at an angle to the right and is two storeys tall with three bays. It has two-light wooden casements with wooden lintels and a door. This wing also has additional early 19th-century extensions, now known as Woodbine Cottage, at the southern end, constructed of coursed rubble limestone with stone slate roofs. These extensions consist of two two-storey bays, with the south bay featuring an east front that has two-light barred wooden casements, a lower window with a flat stone arch, and a board door within a 20th-century porch. The Cottage by the Church includes a fireplace with dressed stone jambs in the right bay.
