Woodcote Hall, Including Wings And Forecourt Wall To Road

Woodcote Hall, a house dating from the mid-18th century, is constructed of red brick and extended with wings and a forecourt wall to the road. The main body of the house is three storeys high, with an attic space featuring a wailing front. Originally featuring 2-3-2 sash windows, the left-hand portion now has a later two-storey brick bay. The right-hand side retains its original sashes, while the centre has three round-headed sashes on the ground floor. The centre entrance is distinguished by an open-pedimented doorcase with a blocked ornamental fanlight and fluted pilasters. Architectural details include a brick modillioned cornice over the first-floor windows and a large half-round window in the centre of the second floor. A painted cornice and pediment with a round window top the second floor. The interior features a mid-18th century staircase with turned balusters, columnar newels, and an open string. Single-storey pavilions flank the entrance court. The left-hand pavilion is red brick with a projecting central part under a pediment, and flanking wings with half-pediments and a roof slope. It has two tall sash windows in the centre and smaller windows on the sides, with brick modillioned cornices to the wings. The right-hand pavilion has undergone later alterations. This section is three storeys high with a 3-3-3 sash window arrangement, the outer windows being in full-height brick canted bays. The ground floor is cemented, with a central glazed 19th-century verandah in iron. The first floor has three windows, with a central, leaded semi-circular window on the second floor. An eaves cornice, a central pediment with a round window, and a tile roof complete the appearance. A red-brick garden wall runs along the road, featuring original railings on a plinth, red-brick end piers with stone capping, and 18th-century lead vases.
