Farmbuildings Adjoining To North West Of Woolsgrove Farmhouse

The farm buildings adjoining to the northwest of Woolsgrove Farmhouse consist of three connected ranges, dating from the 17th century and early to mid-19th century. They are constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with a rubble stack and a roof made of slate and corrugated iron. The buildings face into a farm courtyard.

The southwest range, built in the early to mid-19th century, features a barness room at the left end, a carriageway next to it, a central coal store, and a three-bay open-fronted linhay on the right. The carriageway has timber curving braces that form a segmental arch, and the posts of the linhay are similarly braced to the wallplates, with hayloft openings filled in with slats.

The northwest range, which runs alongside the road, includes a bakehouse, stores, and a large carriageway. This range projects beyond the southwest range and has an end stack, along with a reset late 16th to early 17th century oak moulded window frame. The courtyard front features a large carriageway with an unglazed two-light window above at the right end. The bakehouse on the left has a central unglazed window on each floor and doors on the ground floor, with the right door leading to stairs. The carriageway contains a large possibly late 17th to early 18th century ledged and braced door to the road, which has three strap hinges, two of which have fleur de lys terminals and remnants of moulded cover strips.

The northeast range contains stables that have undergone significant alterations. The bakehouse includes a massive granite fireplace with an oak lintel. The cross beams have been replaced with 20th-century steel joists. The upper floor has plastered walls and ceiling, indicating it may have originally served a domestic purpose, possibly as servants' quarters. There is also a reset 17th-century flat-arched door through the cob crosswall leading to a room above the carriageway. The bakehouse features a six-bay roof of A-frames with pegged lap-jointed collars, while the other ranges have early to mid-19th century trusses.
