Description
The Woodlands is an early 19th-century, late-Georgian building located set back from the road on a sloping site, just beside the eastern boundary of the Holywell Community Council area and approximately 0.3 kilometers southwest of the junction with the main coast road (A 548). This two-storey structure features a slate roof and brick chimney stacks. Its front is made of colourwashed brick with a plinth and has a three-plus-one bay layout. The main part of the building includes 12 and 16-pane sash windows, with a dummy window in the center and recessed small-pane casements to the left, which may have once served as a separate farmworker's cottage. There is a modern door with cambered voussoirs that opens onto a central staircase. The right-hand gable end has a camber-headed small-pane sash window, and at the rear, there is a central lean-to that has been later raised with a flat roof. The Woodlands is listed as an unspoilt example of an early 19th-century rural building in this area.
