45 And 47, Woodmancote

The properties at 45 and 47 Woodmancote comprise two attached houses and a former meeting room, originally part of an almshouse. Construction occurred in the early 19th century, with the meeting room added in 1853. The houses are built of random rubble marlstone, with coursed rubble limestone to number 45 and the meeting room, featuring ashlar dressings to the meeting room. Brick chimneys are present, and the roofs are covered in pantiles, with stone slates on the meeting room.

The houses are two storeys throughout, with rear extensions. The central block (number 47) has a three-window front elevation, with wide 12-pane sashes to the ground floor and 19th-century casements on the upper floor, all under timber lintels. A central 19th-century glazed door is set within an opening with a timber lintel. The central part of the front elevation is rendered up to the mid-level of the ground floor windows. Ridge-mounted chimneys are located at each end of the central block. An addition to the left (number 45) has a single 19th-century fixed-light window with a timber lintel to the ground floor.

On the south end is a parapet gabled end to the meeting room, featuring a central, moulded Tudor-arched doorway with a hoodmould and a plank door. Above the doorway is a two-light mullioned casement with diagonal leaded glazing, Tudor-arched heads, and a hoodmould; the sill has been extended to create a plain band. A shield plaque is located in the apex of the gable but the inscription is unreadable, and there is a mutilated finial to the gable.

The north end of the building has a gable with three 20th-century upper floor casements and a plank door to the ground floor, all with timber lintels. The interior of the properties has not been inspected. The meeting room previously served the adjoining Vizard Almshouses, which were constructed in 1853 but have since been demolished.
