Description

Woodcote Manor is a small country house that dates from the late 15th century, with additions from the 17th century and a redesign in 1911 by architect R. Blomfield for Seymour Haden. The building features a brick exterior on a rubble flint plinth, with a traditional plain tile roof. The main structure is a mid-17th century house with a west or garden front that has four gabled bays and a central porch. There is an earlier timber-framed house to the left and a three-bay south front designed in Blomfield's Georgian style to the right.

The west front is two storeys high, with an attic above a basement, and includes four gables and a nine-window range, with a blank gable stack bay addition to the right. A projecting two-storey gabled porch is approximately central, accessed by a flight of stone steps with wrought iron handrails leading to a 20th-century Tudor style oak door set in a moulded brick four-centred arch. There are 18th-century 12-pane flush framed sash windows with blind boxes and moulded bargeboards above the porch, along with four similar 18th-century five-pane sashes on either side. A moulded brick string course runs along the first floor, which features seven sashes like those in the porch, with a narrow eight-pane sash between the left two gables. The gables are adorned with a dentilled cornice and contain 17th-century three-light leaded casements with moulded brick surrounds and timber bargeboards. Lead downpipes are positioned between the gables on the face of the building. The steeply pitched roofs have a triple diamond stack gable end on the right, a double diamond stack between the right gables, and triple diamond stacks behind the ridge of the two left gables, with the left stack showcasing 17th-century brickwork.

Inside, there is a staircase at the rear right, which dates from the 17th century and features heavy turned balusters. The doorways leading to the staircase have moulded oak frames with studded doors on wrought iron hinges. At the top in the attics, there is a screen of balusters. The ground floor rooms behind the porch and to the right feature early 18th-century panelling, while the left end roof includes contemporary chimney pieces. The first-floor rooms each have decoratively carved 17th-century chimneypieces and some panelling.
