Woodroffe House

Woodroffe House is a 17th-century building that has been significantly modernised and restored in the 20th century. It’s constructed of coursed rubble with a thatched roof. The building is composed of two sections; one with a single storey and attic to the left, and the other, two storeys and an attic to the right, forming a curving front with three distinct rooflines. A projecting, modern gable sits in the centre. Windows are a mix of stone mullioned casements with drip moulds (three and four lights) and wooden casements (two and three lights). Dormers include one gabled dormer and one eyebrowed dormer, and tall ashlar stacks are present. The overall appearance is a picturesque, somewhat random arrangement, largely the result of restoration and additions carried out by C.R. Ashbee for Paul Woodroffe, the stained glass artist. These additions include a curved wing and gable facing Green. The building is partially hidden by a box-tree screen.
