Woodgate Farmhouse

Woodgate Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 19th century, with possible origins in the 16th or 17th century. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble, possibly with cob, and features stone rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brick. The roof is slate, having originally been thatch. The house has an L-shaped plan, with the main block facing southeast and consisting of two or three rooms. The outer rooms serve as the main living areas and have gable-end stacks. An entrance hall is located left of center, containing the main staircase, and a corridor runs along the back of the main block. A kitchen block projects at right angles from the rear of the northeast end and has a stack that backs onto the main block. The asymmetry of the main block suggests that this early to mid 19th-century structure was a rebuild or modernization of an earlier 16th or 17th-century house. The farmhouse is now two storeys tall.

The exterior features an irregular four-window front with 19th-century 16-pane sash windows. The front doorway, located left of center, has a 20th-century door set behind a 19th-century gabled timber porch with square-section posts and a dentil cornice. The plastered front is accented with stucco quoin strips at each end, and the plain eaves and gabled ends of the roof have stone coping. The rear block includes some 19th-century casements with rectangular panes of leaded glass. The interior was not available for inspection during the survey, but it is believed to contain early to mid 19th-century joinery details and may also include 16th or 17th-century carpentry details.
