Description
Southwood is a large farmhouse constructed with cement render and rubble stone, topped with a concrete-tile roof that replaced the original grouted slate in 1963. The building is two storeys tall and has an L-shaped plan with a northwest rear wing. The south front is rendered and features a five-window range, divided into two sections by a ridge stack. The main house to the right has a three-window range, while the service range to the left has two windows. Only three original hornless 12-pane sash windows remain on the first floor of the house; the rest have been replaced with 20th-century 12-pane windows that include tilting top-lights. One of these windows has also replaced the former front door. The service wing has two windows on the first floor and one window on the ground floor to the right.
The west gable end and the west side of the rear wing are rendered and feature similar 20th-century windows, with a two-window range on the west gable and a one-window range on the rear wing. The east end of the main house has a large lean-to, with a whitewashed rubble stone south end that includes a pair of 20th-century casement windows and an original 9-pane sash window above. The grouted slate roof was removed in 1997.
The rear of the building is comparatively unaltered, showcasing whitewashed rubble stone on the main range, which includes a fine long 24-pane stair-light flanked by first-floor 12-pane sashes. There is a small 12-pane sash window to the left on the ground floor, with a 20th-century window and door with an overlight to the right. The east lean-to features a first-floor 8-pane sash on the north end and two cambered-headed dairy windows below, with stone voussoirs above the window heads.
The northwest rear wing is made of unpainted rubble stone and has an east cambered-headed 15-pane stair-light to the left, positioned at the angle to the main range. The north gable end includes a small roundel loft light, one 12-pane sash window on the first floor, and another on the ground floor, situated between two stone lean-to additions, the left one being tall and narrow.
Low whitewashed rubble stone walls are present in front of the house, while tall rubble stone garden walls are located to the west. The property is said to have a date of 1822 on the roof beam and features an early 19th-century stick baluster staircase, although it has not been inspected.
