Woodstock

Woodstock is a house that was formerly a Post Office, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with probable extensions from the 19th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, featuring a rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The building is L-shaped, with the main block facing south onto the road and a crosswing projecting to the rear on the right (east) side. On the left (west) end, it adjoins Fairview, The Green. The main block consists of three rooms and has an axial stack located to the right of the center. It is two storeys high with an irregular three-window front, featuring 20th-century iron casements on the first floor and 20th-century timber windows on the ground floor, all with glazing bars. The left end of the building has a former shop window, and there are doors at each end. The roof, which was inspected, indicates that the building developed from an earliest one-room structure at the left (west) end. The roof is likely late 17th century, built on an A-frame truss with pegged lap-jointed collars, and includes a hip arrangement to the east with a loading hatch.
