Description

Woodmill Farmhouse is a late 18th century house with an attached outbuilding that is possibly slightly later. Both structures have undergone alterations over the years. A former outbuilding on the east side was extended and converted into a cottage in the late 20th century, but this is not included in the listing. The house is two stories high, has a long three-bay rectangular plan, and is built into sloping ground. It is harled with ashlar dressings, including window cills on the front (south) and coped gables with beaked skewputts. The attached outbuilding, likely a granary, is also two stories high, four bays wide, and has a rectangular plan. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with partially droved sandstone dressings.

On the south elevation, the entrance to the house is located to the right of the central bay, featuring a shallow mid-20th century flat-roofed porch with a replacement panelled timber door. There is a window above and in the flanking bays on each floor. The window to the right on the ground floor has been altered to a door in the late 20th century. A single-storey former outhouse, now a cottage, is attached to the right, while a rubble outbuilding is attached to the left. There are two large cart openings with late 20th century inserted doors in the outer left bays, a full-height vennel to the right, and an entrance with a timber door to the outer right. The upper storey features regular fenestration with a low-height window in each bay.

The north elevation displays irregular fenestration of the house, with a late 20th century entrance porch in the central bay and flanking windows in the outer bays. The first-floor windows are located in the central and left bays. A rubble outhouse is set slightly forward to the right, and there is a large vennel entrance to the left of centre. Former windows to the left and low-height windows above in each bay have all been bricked up. The lower-height range, which has been much altered, projects forward to the outer right and returns to form a yard to the north, which is of little interest due to these alterations.

The house features 2 and 4-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof with coped gablehead stacks and one ridge stack with round cans. The outbuilding has a piended pantiled roof. The interiors were not inspected in 1999.
