Description
Wood End Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date from the mid-18th century and incorporate part of an earlier farmhouse inscribed over the rear doorway with the initials J.&.A.S. and the date 1711. The buildings are constructed from dressed pink and calciferous sandstone, featuring a string course, eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of graduated greenslate with coped gables and kneelers, and there are banded dressed sandstone chimney stacks at the gable ends. The gable walls, rear, and barns are made of brick, with some areas pebble-dashed.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a lower two-storey barn to the left, which is partly domestic and forms an L-shape. The central entrance has a panelled door framed by an eared architrave and a bolection frieze beneath a pediment. Sash windows are set in raised stone surrounds. The barn features a fixed casement window with glazing bars in a raised stone surround and a central segmental cart doorway with an alternate-block surround. There is a partly-blocked window under the loft doorway, both in stone surrounds. The inner farmyard wall includes a projecting cart doorway with a rusticated sandstone surround and open brick vents arranged in a cross shape. Additional barn extensions and a 20th-century garage to the right of the farmhouse are not of interest.
