Description
Woodhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features rendered cob walls and a steeply pitched gable-ended roof covered in clay patent tiles, with brick stacks at the gable ends. The building has a two-room plan, with a parlour on the left (west) and a kitchen on the right (east), both heated by gable-end stacks. An integral pantry outshut is located behind the kitchen, and a larger dairy outshut is behind the parlour, likely added in the 18th century. There is a late 18th or early 19th-century outbuilding on the left (west) end and a 19th-century outshut on the right (east) end.
The farmhouse is two storeys with an attic and has a symmetrical three-bay south front. The ground floor features three-light casements, while the first floor has two-light casements, all with horizontal glazing bars and dating from the 19th century. The central doorway has a late 20th-century plank door. The right outshut has a lean-to roof and a 20th-century plank door, while the left outbuilding has a plank door and a four-pane window. There are small 18th-century two-light attic windows in the end gables. The main roof at the rear (north) extends over the outshuts, with the original smaller outshut on the left projecting and a painted brick outshut from the 18th century on the right, featuring a brick stack in the angle and various casements.
Inside, the former kitchen on the right has a deeply chamfered cross-beam with cyma stops and a large fireplace with unchamfered dressed limestone jambs, a large slightly cambered and chamfered bressumer without stops, and a brick oven. The smaller parlour on the left has a deeply chamfered cross-beam with cyma stops, but its fireplace is blocked by a 20th-century tiled chimneypiece, with a cupboard to the side featuring panelled doors. The ground floor has six-panel doors, while the first floor has 18th and 19th-century plank doors. The roof features a 5-bay tenoned-purlin collar-truss design from the 18th century, with lapped and pegged collars.
