Woodfield House With Perimeter Wall To North And West, Gates And Railings Linking On South Side

Woodfield House, built around 1830, is a detached house with a perimeter wall to the north and west, and gates and railings linking on the south side. The house is constructed of brick on a stone plinth and features a shallow hipped slate roof with a parapet at the front and sides. It has brick end stacks with moulded stone cornices and decorative chimney pots. The L-shaped structure includes a square main house of two storeys, likely accompanied by a single-storey service range and stabling to the north, which also has an attic.

The front of the house showcases a plain stone cornice and a blocking course, with verges that are coped and swept up to the stacks. There are three 16-pane sash windows on the first floor, each with stone keystones and voussoirs, as well as a sill band. The ground floor has two similar windows, and there is a central stone porch featuring two Doric columns, an open pediment, a semi-circular soffit with a decorative fanlight, and a door with six fielded panels.

Wrought iron railings extend in an L-shape from the southeast corner of the house for about 8 meters before turning west for approximately 25 to 30 meters, connecting to the perimeter wall at quadrants. The railings have a plain spearhead pattern with alternate half-height similar railings and trefoil heads approximately every eighth railing, all set into a shaped stone plinth. The perimeter wall, made of brick with plain stone coping, links to the north end of the service wing and curves around to the northwest of the house, extending south for about 45 meters.

An 8-bar wide wrought iron entrance gate is set back between two quadrants, which are positioned between two square brick piers with stone caps and plinths. The main wall stands about 2.2 meters high, with the flanking gate around 2 meters high and a plat band halfway up. The quadrant sections also feature stone plinths. The wall continues for another 8 meters, with its height varying from about 2 meters at the southern end, stepping up three times to about 3.5 meters at the junction with the north end of the service range. Four later raking brick buttresses support the north side of the wall.
