Description

Wood House is a Grade II listed building constructed of rendered brick with a slate roof that is hipped to the front range, featuring rendered brick chimneys. The front elevation is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and three windows, with a central door that includes a fanlight. There is a low extension attached to the right side. At the rear, there is a range that runs at right angles, also two storeys high with three windows, an off-centre hipped porch on the right return side, and a projecting wing.

The main entrance opens into a hall that features an open-string stair with a wreathed handrail and slender balusters, and the ceiling is adorned with a decorative plaster rose. Doors lead to rooms on either side, both with boxed and plastered ceiling beams. The room on the right has a plasterwork frieze and decorative motifs on the soffit of the beam, while the left room features similar plasterwork with vine motifs. The rear range includes a room with a pair of doors that have false Tudor arches in the timber framing of the wall shared with a 19th-century range. This room also has a heavy ovolo-moulded ceiling beam and a fireplace that possibly has a reset stone lintel inscribed with the letters: EIR 1692. The entrance door, which likely dates from the early 18th century, is probably reset. Additionally, there is a further room that contains a narrow stair leading to the upper floor. A partial inspection of the interior was conducted during a survey in 1996.
