Goddenwick Farmhouse

Goddenwick Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating back to the early 16th century or earlier, originally an open hall. It was subsequently ceiled over, with chimneystacks added in the late 16th century. The front of the building was refaced, the roof replaced, and a lean-to addition was constructed in the 18th century, with a small early 19th century addition to the rear, and the windows were replaced in the 20th century. The structure is timber framed, built on a brick and stone plinth. A rear bay exhibits curved windbraces thought to date back to the late 15th or early 16th century. The front is tiled, with plain tiles on the ground floor and curved tiles on the first floor. The steeply pitched tiled roof has a gablet to the west, and external brick and stone chimneystacks have been added to the north and east. The south front, which serves as the entrance front, has a four-windowed frontage over two bays, with 20th-century casement windows. A 20th-century gabled tiled porch is supported by wooden piers. The east front features a large external brick and stone chimneystack dating back to the 16th century.

The rear elevation displays an exposed timber-framed bay on the right-hand side, a central, massive 16th-century external chimneystack with a sandstone base, and an 19th-century outshut built onto it. To the left is an early 19th-century addition of stone and brick to the ground floor, with tile hanging to the first floor, topped with a half-hipped tiled roof and an external brick chimneystack. The rear elevation has irregularly spaced 20th-century casement windows.

Inside, a fine 16th-century oak plank and muntin screen divides the former open hall area, along with an inserted ceiling incorporating a spine beam with a three-inch chamfer and run-out stops. A 16th-century oak solid tread staircase is located on the first floor. The roof, with through purlins and a collar beam, is a replacement from the 18th century. There are also several fine plank doors, including a six-panelled door with quatrefoil carvings, and a stick staircase from the early 19th century, with columned newel posts.
