North Woodtown

A late 16th-century farmhouse, possibly incorporating some late medieval fabric, with rendered and plastered cob walls and a thatch roof hipped to the left end and gabled to the right. There is a large rubble lateral stack at the front and a brick stack at the right gable end. The original plan was a three-room-and-through-passage layout, with the lower end to the left likely originally used as a shippon (animal shelter). This shippon is now divided into two parts with a small, unheated room between the passage and the shippon, and a further small room at the end with separate external access, possibly a former stable. The hall is heated by a front lateral stack with an integral window bay, and the inner room has a gable-end fireplace.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical, one-window front. The ground floor has four windows, with a projecting single-storey hall bay to the right of centre. There are two small-paned two-light windows from the 19th century on the ground floor to the right. An early 20th-century three-light casement is on the first floor to the left of centre, below which is a wide 20th-century plank door leading to the passage. To its left are a 20th-century small two-light casement and a single-light window. A 19th-century plank door leads to the shippon, with a loading hatch above it. The end wall of the shippon has a first-floor loading hatch with a very small square opening below. A small outbuilding wing, located behind the shippon, incorporates a 17th-century chamfered wooden doorframe to the rear courtyard and a passageway between it and the shippon. Another 17th-century chamfered doorframe leads from this passageway to the end room of the shippon.

The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but is likely to remain largely unaltered and retain original features such as ceiling beams, an open fireplace, and an early roof structure.
