Description

Woodgates is a small house located in Sourton, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features plastered rubble walls and a gable-ended thatched roof, with slate-roofed outshuts. It has a two-room plan, each room heated by a gable end stack. The front of the house has 19th-century outshuts at either end and a 20th-century conservatory inserted between them.

The house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with two windows, which are 20th-century two-light casements. The conservatory porch, also from the 20th century, has a glazed door. To the right, there is a garage that likely originated as an outbuilding, and beyond it is a later 19th-century double pig-sty, each with a door and feeding hatch. The rear elevation features irregular 20th-century casements and a glazed dormer porch at the left end. Inside, the left-hand room includes a fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel.
