Description

Lower Woodend Farmhouse is a house with a 17th-century rear wing that has been altered and extended, likely in the 18th century, and remodelled around 1830. The front block features roughcast and colourwashed walls, possibly with offset eaves, and has a hipped old tile roof with brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has three bays. The outer bays on the ground floor contain large tripartite sash windows, while the first floor has three-pane sashes, with the central window altered. There is a 20th-century central six-panelled top-lit door with an ornamental semi-circular fanlight and panelled reveals, framed by a 20th-century wooden doorcase with an open pediment supported by Tuscan columns. The rear wing has been rebuilt using flint and brick, now also colourwashed, with raised eaves. It is two storeys tall with three and a half bays, featuring irregular casements and sashes. Inside, the rear wing has timber framing in the cross walls, and one room includes a stop-chamfered spine beam and joists.
