Description
Woodroberts Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with a late 18th or early 19th century addition. It features plastered cob walls and a gable-ended thatch roof, supported by three brick stacks—one at each gable end and one axial. The main range currently has a three-room plan, although the right-hand end room is very narrow and heated, suggesting it may be an addition since the stack from the adjoining room projects into it. The two rooms on the left are roughly equal in size, each with a fireplace in the end wall, and there is a central through-passage. A two-storey lean-to was added along the rear wall in the late 18th or early 19th century.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front. On the first floor, there are three 3-light late 18th or early 19th century leaded pane casements, and a similar 4-light one on the ground floor to the left. The right side features 20th century 2-light casements on each floor and a 3-light one to the right of centre on the ground floor. A 19th or early 20th century part-glazed door is located at the centre. The rear lean-to also includes some leaded lights.
Inside, the left-hand room has chamfered and hollow step-stopped cross beams, while the right-hand end room features a chamfered axial beam and a chamfered wooden lintel over the fireplace. Three original roof trusses remain, consisting of straight principals with trenched purlins and collars halved on with notched lap joints. The house retains a very traditional appearance both internally and externally, with other original features like fireplaces likely still present but concealed.
