Wooda Cottage

Wooda Cottage is a cottage that includes an outbuilding, which may have been a bakery. It dates from the 18th century and was restored in the mid-20th century. The exterior features render over rubble and cob, with a thatched roof and double Roman tiles on the lean-to porch. There is a rendered stack with a brick cap where the cottage meets the outbuilding, and the stack at the left gable end has been removed. The layout consists of two cells and a cross passage leading to a central staircase, with the outbuilding now partitioned to include a bathroom. The site slopes down at the cottage end.

The cottage is two storeys high with three bays. It has two-light late 19th-century casement windows on either side of a central fixed light stair window, and similar ground floor windows flanking the porch, which has a plank door. The outbuilding is single storey and features two two-light casements and a 20th-century glazed door at the right end. A 20th-century terracotta mask is located below the right window. The left return gable end has a rubble buttress or a truncated chimneystack, and a 20th-century window has been inserted in the rear elevation.

Inside, there is a chamfered lintel above the fireplace in the room to the left of the entrance, and the wide staircase has horizontal boarding, which is partly renewed. Exposed joists are visible in both rooms, and the fireplace in the right-hand room has been rebuilt. An entrance has been cut through beside the fireplace to the outbuilding, which contains a large open fireplace with a bread oven and a chamfered lintel. The bathroom has been added to this outbuilding, which is otherwise open to the roof, where four pairs of collarbeam trusses are visible in the cottage. The exact evolution and function of the outbuilding in relation to the cottage is not clear.
