Description
The Burford Woodroom is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century, with a front added in the 17th century and later remodelled in the 19th century. It features a roughcast projecting timber-frame front that is two stories high, built over a rubble structure with a Cotswold stone roof and rubble gable end chimneys. The layout consists of three rooms, with two located at the front and one at the rear.
The building has two stories and an attic with roof lights. On the first floor, there are two casement windows, while the ground floor has a continuous mid-19th century shop front with a dentil cornice on the fascia and two doors. The gable end to the south has a blocked two-light cusped head window in the attic and a very small wood-framed light. There is a two-story return to Church Street, where the first floor features a plastered timber frame and two square oriel bay windows with wooden ovolo mullions for the three-light windows. The ground floor has been altered, with two irregular windows on the left and paired bar sashes on the right over a 17th-century timber lintel.
Inside, the first floor south room has early 18th-century raised and fielded panelling, while the east room contains two jowled post trusses, one of which has braces. The roof features tie and collar trusses with a square ridge and shows signs of smoke blackening. The building is marked as No 18A on the Ordnance Survey map.
