Description

Woodway House is a house that underwent early 19th-century remodelling of an earlier 18th-century building, with a late 19th-century wing added to the right. The exterior is finished in stucco and features a steeply-pitched hipped thatched roof on the garden front, with rendered stacks on the sides, and double-pitched slate roofs on the rear block, which includes a stack on the rear right. The layout likely started as a two-unit plan, with the early 19th-century front range creating a double-depth plan, alongside a single-storey late 19th-century right wing and a rear lean-to.

The house is two storeys high with an attic. The entrance, located on the left side facing the street, features an early 19th-century reeded doorcase with blocks at the upper corners and a small modillion cornice. The doorcase has raised moulding on the panels of the reveals and a painted-over overlight with a pointed-arched pane at the centre and radial glazing bars. This entrance is sheltered by a late 19th-century glazed porch with a fretted bargeboard at the gable. The first floor of the three-window garden front has moulded architraves around pointed-arched French windows, which are topped with Y tracery overlights and delicate cast-iron trellised balcony guards. A central dormer features a two-light casement window with a similarly painted false overlight. The ground floor has late 19th-century canted bays that support a wooden trellised verandah.

Inside, the entrance hall on the left side features a narrow open-well open-string staircase with a painted wreathed handrail and a curtail step, along with a semicircular-arched recess to the left. The ground floor includes six-panel doors, while the first floor has four-panel doors and the attic features planked doors. The kitchen at the rear right has a former open fireplace in the corner, and the wall between the rear and front ranges is over 0.6 meters thick, likely indicating it was once an exterior wall. Woodway House is a notable example of early 19th-century cottage ornee architecture.
