Description
Woodmancote Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with mid-19th century and 20th century alterations. It is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a stone slate roof, and features ashlar and rendered stacks. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan with a small 20th century lean-to extension at the gable end and a mid-19th century Gothick style extension in the angle, creating a rectangular overall plan.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. The east-facing elevation has two windows, featuring two 3-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements on the ground floor and similar 2-light casements on the first floor. The gable end facing the lane includes two 17th century single-light casements and one 20th century single-light steel casement, along with a 2-light stone-mullioned casement in the 19th century extension to the left.
On the south-facing elevation, the gable to the right has a double-chamfered 3-light stone-mullioned casement and a late 18th century three-light segmental-headed casement on the ground floor. The first floor features a single similar casement, a 3-light 19th century casement, and two single-light 20th century casements, with a 20th century two-light casement in the gable. An early 2-light roof dormer is also present.
A central 20th century plank door is set within an early 3-centred arched surround. There is an early single-light casement cut from a single stone, likely forming the former access to the interior dovecote. The gable of the 19th century extension to the left has 2-light windows with Gothick glazing and some diamond leaded panes on both the ground and first floors, along with stepped gable-end coping and roll-cross saddles. The building has axial and gable-end stacks.
Inside, there are two open fireplaces with bressumer beams, exposed beams with triangular and moulded stops, and a dovecote in the attic featuring stone-lined pigeon holes on two sides and wooden nesting boxes with round-headed entrances that separate the nesting area from the rest of the attic. The early floor of the dovecote consists of stoves and mortar-like infill between.
