Woodlea, Stenton

Woodlea is a house dated 1692, featuring two storeys and an attic, along with a single-storey row of three former cottages from the late 18th century positioned at right angles to the southwest, and early 19th-century garden buildings to the southeast. The structure is built of red sandstone rubble with harl-pointing and a variety of ashlar dressings, some stugged and some with chamfered arrises.

On the southeast elevation, the house originally had three widely spaced bays. The central door has a lintel incised with the date 1692, with a later cement-rendered window to the left and a pair of windows to the right. There is a small first-floor window in the centre, flanked by narrow, taller windows. The northwest elevation features three closely grouped bays at the centre, with a window on each floor; three of these windows are blocked, and one has been altered to a timber mullioned bipartite. There is also a narrow ground-floor window to the outer right. The southwest elevation includes windows on each floor in the gable, although the attic window is blocked. The northeast elevation has a modern lean-to addition at ground level, with a small first-floor window and an attic window to the outer right. The predominant glazing pattern consists of four-pane windows, with two twelve-pane windows, all in sash and case style. The house has crowstepped gables and is roofed with Ballachulish slates. The gable ends feature coped stugged ashlar stacks with thackstanes. The row of cottages and outbuildings are adjoined to and extend beyond the outer bays.

The cottages consist of three single-storey, three-bay structures with irregular roof heights and pitches. The door of the centre cottage has been blocked and replaced with a window, flanked by windows. The left cottage has a porch addition at its door, while the outer left bay of the right cottage has been enlarged to include a door, with windows in the remaining bays. A timber garden shed has been added to the rear of the cottage by the house. The cottages have steep roofs, coped stacks with thackstanes, and pantiled roofing.

The outbuildings include a gabled single-storey building, possibly a former stable, featuring a fanlit doorway flanked by windows, with a smaller window inserted later. There is also a piend-roofed garage adjoining to the south, which has a blank rear and a rounded angle to the east. The garden walls are made of rubble and are coped, enclosing the garden to the east and north of the house, dating from the late 18th century.
