Description
Wood House is a pair of cottages, originally built as one house, dating from the early to mid-17th century. The cottages feature rubble stone walls that are colour washed at the front and have thatched roofs with brick stacks at the left end and along the ridge. They are one storey with attics.
No. 44 has two large raking buttresses on the front wall and a pair of French doors. The ground floor includes one casement window and one horizontally sliding sash window, both with glazing bars, along with one plain casement. The attic features one dormer with casements that have a central glazing bar. Inside, the main ground floor room has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and some exposed chamfered ceiling beams.
No. 45 has a buttress near the left end and a ledged door. The ground floor has two casement windows with a central glazing bar, while the attic also has one dormer with similar casements. Internally, the main ground floor room has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and the remains of a bread oven, along with some deep chamfered ceiling beams. The roof structure appears to be original. Wood House is a National Trust property and is recorded as a monument in the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England.
