Description
Woottondown Farmhouse and the attached barn are a mid-18th century farmhouse and barn located in Wootton. The farmhouse is constructed from squared and coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a gabled stone slate roof with moulded stone end stacks. It is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys plus an attic, with a symmetrical five-window arrangement. There is a bracketed open pediment above a flat stone arch that frames a 20th-century door, and keyed flat stone arches over six-pane sash windows. Hipped roof dormers are also present. The rear wing includes a pedimented doorway from 1963 and a one-storey former brewhouse with a stone end stack. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the mid-18th century five-bay barn, which is made of limestone rubble and has a gabled concrete tile roof, is a short wall approximately 1.5 metres long. The barn features a collar-truss roof with butt purlins.
