Description
Woodburn House is a detached three-bay two-storey stone house built around 1840, located north of Willmount Road in Drumquin. The building stands on an elevated site and is accessed by a long drive to the south, with a range of outbuildings to the north.
The house is square-on-plan and faces north. The roof is hipped, almost pyramidal in form, covered with natural slate and finished with black clay ridge tiles. Two replacement yellow brick chimneysstacks with terracotta pots and lead flashing project from the roofline. Projecting sandstone ashlar eaves with bull-nose moulding function as the gutter, with cast-iron downpipes at the west and east corners.
The walls are constructed of tooled ashlar sandstone, coursed and laid with lime mortar, sitting on a projecting chamfered plinth course. The basement level is of rubble sandstone with tooled quoins and several carved stone vents. A concrete retaining wall encircles the east, south and west basement areas, with concrete and stone pathways providing access.
Windows throughout have square-headed openings with raised and chamfered ashlar surrounds and sandstone sills. All windows feature timber sliding sashes with convex horns and some cylinder glass; the first floor and basement have 3/6 sashes while the ground floor has 6/6 sashes.
The principal north elevation is the most formal, with the basement level concealed. A single, slightly off-centre round-headed door opening is placed above a corresponding window opening, with the remainder of the elevation expressed in bare sandstone. The door surround is of smooth ashlar sandstone with bull-nose moulding and chamfered reveals, containing a large replacement timber panelled door (incorporating some original panels) and a spoked timber fanlight. The door opens onto a sandstone platform with a single step.
The east elevation has a pair of window openings placed symmetrically at each of the three floors. The south elevation is of bare stone with a single off-centre basement window containing a 2/2 timber sash with coloured cement surround and sill. The west elevation is more fenestrated, with three windows to the first floor (the central window off-centre), two windows to the ground floor, and three windows plus a door opening to the basement. This basement door also has a chamfered sandstone ashlar surround and a replacement hardwood panelled door.
The house sits within a working farm. A lawn extends to the north elevation, enclosed by a concrete balustrade built around 1970 which rises from the basement area to the west elevation. The lawn is bounded to the east and north by a pair of single-storey rendered outbuildings; the northern outbuilding displays an early date stone in its north wall inscribed "1776". These outbuildings have pitched natural slate roofs, cement-rendered walls, and square-headed windows with steel casements. Further modern outbuildings, including corrugated iron structures, are located to the northwest along a concrete lane. A long curved drive extends to the west of the farmyard before turning south towards Willmount Road.
