Woodford Cottages

A row of four cottages with a larger house at its end, dated 1852. They were built of red sandstone rubble with slate roofs and brick stacks. The cottages form an "L" shape, backing onto the road, with the larger house, number 5, set at a right angle and accessed by a drive leading to Nettlecombe Court. Number 5 is two storeys high with three bays. It features a full-height canted bay on the right, a gabled roof, two-light casement windows with multiple panes, a single-light window above the gabled porch, and a porch with decorative bargeboards and shaped wooden brackets carved on wooden piers. The porch is slate-roofed. A shield set in the gable end is inscribed with "WCT 1852" (referring to Trevelyan). The right return of number 5 has three square gabled oriels facing the road. These cottages were built as estate cottages, part of the Nettlecombe Estate. The village itself had been relocated at the end of the 18th century from its original setting beside the Church of St Mary.
