Description

Boringdon House, now known as Woodlee, is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It was built in 1815 for Meade King. The exterior features colourwashed render, wide boxed eaves, and a hipped slate roof with rendered stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with the centre bay projecting slightly. On the first floor, there are 9-pane sash windows, except for the centre window which has 4 panes. The ground floor has large semi-circular head windows set in semi-circular head niches, along with 8-pane sash windows. The main entrance features a central recessed door opening with paired half-glazed doors and a fanlight above. There is an outer doorway with a semi-circular head, flanked by detached Tuscan columns and a pilaster on the wall that supports a short section of entablature. There is also a secondary door opening at the rear. The interior has been significantly altered but includes an ornamental plaster cornice and a cast-iron safe dated 1815.
