Description

Woodway Farmhouse and Woodway House are a pair of houses dating from the late 16th to 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The left half of the building has been rebuilt using flint with brick dressings and features a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the left. There is a narrow central section that has been rendered, while the right half is constructed from irregularly chequered brick, which includes a first-floor band course, a rendered plinth, later brick upper walls, and a 20th-century tiled roof. The house has brick chimneys located at the center and between the right bays. It is one and a half storeys tall with five irregular bays. The two bays on the left have 20th-century paired barred wooden casements, with those on the first floor set in thatch and a similar single light window on the ground floor between the bays. The entry is located on the left side. There is a small horizontal sliding sash window aligned with the central fireplace, featuring a single leaded light above it, positioned below the eaves. The right bays contain three-light wooden casements, with barred windows on the ground floor and 20th-century glazing in raking semi-dormers on the first floor. A boarded door is situated to the right of center, topped with a segmental head that breaks into the band course. There are 20th-century extensions at the rear of the outer bays. Inside, the building features timber framing in the partition walls, stop-chamfered spine beams in the three central bays, and the original left bay has heavy chamfered joists and one curved wind-brace. A fireplace has been inserted into the center bay.
