Woodside

Woodside is a cottage dating from around the early 18th century, with a later 18th or 19th century extension. It is constructed from local stone rubble, painted on the front, and has a thatched roof with a gabled end to the right and a half-hipped end to the left. A substantial integral stack is located on the right-hand end, featuring a short stone shaft with a string course and cornice. The original plan was a small, two-storey, one-room cottage, heated by a stack and incorporating a newel staircase in a stair turret at the rear right corner. A central doorway originally suggests a two-room plan. The cottage is built into bedrock at the left (west) end, and a small, single-storey extension was added in the late 18th or 19th century onto the rock at this end.

The front of the cottage has three bays. The original section features two windows to the right, with a central doorway containing a 20th-century glazed door. There are small, late 19th-century casements with glazing bars, and the first floor has eyebrow eaves above. To the left, the 18th/19th-century extension is set back. The rear has a large, circular stair turret on the left-hand corner and a 20th-century horizontal window slit in the centre. The right-hand (east) gable end has various 20th-century casements, and the left-hand (west) end has a large 20th-century casement.

Inside, the ground floor room has later ceiling joists and a large fireplace with a rough slate lintel. To the left of the fireplace is a wooden newel staircase within the circular turret. The roof structure appears to have been rebuilt and features straight principal rafters supported in the wall tops.
