Description
Woodhill Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with an adjoining outbuilding, altered in the mid-20th century. The farmhouse features a red brick lias plinth, an exposed left gable end, and a roughcast facade. The outbuilding is constructed of squared and coursed lias with a corrugated iron roof on the facade and double Roman tiles on the rear and the rest of the farmhouse. A brick stack is located on the left gable end, next to an inserted doorway, and at the right gable end where it joins the outbuilding.
The layout is not entirely clear without a full internal inspection, but it appears to consist of three cells and a cross passage, with a stair turret set in an outshot, all of which are contemporary to the farmhouse. The building is one and a half storeys tall, with a long frontage that includes four dormers rising through the eaves. The outbuilding has no windows on the facade, and all windows are of 20th-century wooden and metal design. The ground floor features windows flanking the inserted doorway, which leads to the through passage, a window to the right, and a squared-headed opening to the outbuilding. There are 20th-century porches at the entrances, with the main entrance featuring a five-panel door.
On the rear elevation, there is a gabled brick stair turret with a three-light leaded iron casement that rises in the catslide roof of the outshot. To the left, there is one three-light window, and to the right, there are two windows. The outshot appears to continue behind the outbuilding. The interior has been partially observed; it includes a timber-framed rear wall with brick infill separating the outshot. The left gable end room seems to have been the kitchen, featuring a circular recess beside the fireplace, possibly used as a curing chamber, which now has an inserted light. The outbuilding contains a cider press. It is unusual for the kitchen to occupy the position of the inner room, and the possibility that the stair rises behind the through passage rather than out of the hall is another uncommon arrangement.
