Woodclose

Woodclose is a house built around 1780, with the date 1788 carved on the rear door. It has undergone some 19th-century alterations to its windows and additional later changes. The building is constructed of rubble that is rendered and lined out, resting on a granite plinth. It features a slate roof with crested ridge tiles and gable ends, along with brick stacks at the gable ends.

The house has a double depth plan, with a central entrance that leads to a passage. The principal rooms are located to the front right and left, while a narrow service room is at the rear left, and a stair hall is at the rear right in the stair tower. The symmetrical front facade consists of two storeys and an attic, with five windows that are all plate-glass sashes on the ground and first floors. The central entrance includes a six-panelled door with an overlight, pilasters, and a cornice. There is a modillion eaves cornice and three hipped dormers, each featuring a six-pane sash window.

At the rear, the ground floor has a 20th-century four-light window on the right and a half-glazed door on the left, which is also dated 1788. On the first floor to the right, there are two 20th-century two-light casements. Above the door, the stair tower has a hipped roof and a two-light casement on both the first and second floors. To the left, there is a two-storey addition with a pitched roof, which is rendered and has two late 19th-century doors.

Inside, the passage features six-panelled doors leading to the rooms on the front right and left, both of which were remodeled in the late 19th century. The 18th-century open wall stair in the stair tower has turned and knopped balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels, rising to the attic level. On the first floor, all doors are four-panelled, and the front right and rear left rooms have plain wooden chimneypieces with moulded mantels. The second floor includes 18th-century two-panelled doors.
