Description
Woodstock House is a house built around 1730, with early 19th-century alterations. It features coursed limestone rubble with an ashlar front and a hipped concrete tile roof, along with mid-19th-century yellow brick stacks. The building is L-shaped with a rear right wing and has three storeys, presenting a symmetrical six-window range. A fine Doric portico leads to a six-panelled door with an overlight, set within a mid-18th-century moulded wood architrave. There are flat stone arches over six-pane sash windows, raised storey bands, and early 19th-century wood brackets at the eaves.
On the right side wall, there is a six-window range with an early 19th-century doorway that features a large bracketed hood over a beaded four-panelled door flanked by lights and a decorative fanlight. A semi-circular arch is above a mid-18th-century six-panelled door with a fanlight, and flat stone arches are present over six-pane sashes, with thick glazing bars on five mid-18th-century sashes on the first floor.
Inside, there are mid-18th-century and 19th-century panelled doors. The room to the right contains mid-18th-century fielded panelling, while the room to the left has mid-18th-century panelled dados. The stair-hall at the rear features an early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with a landing, a wreathed handrail, and a wrought-iron balustrade. The panelled door architraves have paterae, and there are double doors with a decorative fanlight leading to the hall on the right, which has a stone flag floor.
The house was owned by wealthy London goldsmith John More from 1727 to 1737, after which he gave it to the Pryse family. The early 19th-century alterations occurred after 1803 when two properties on the site were amalgamated.
