Woodroberts Farmhouse
II
Farmhouse. Early to mid C17 with late C18 or early C19 addition. Plastered cob
walls. Gable-ended thatch roof. 3 brick stacks, one at each gable end and one
axial.
Plan: at present main range has 3-room plan but the right-hand end room, although
heated, is very narrow and the stack of the adjoining room projects into it so it
may be an addition. The 2 rooms to the left are roughly equal sized each with a
fireplace in the end wall, and with a central through-passage. In the late C18 or
early C19 a 2-storey lean-to was added along the rear wall.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window front. 3 3-light late C18 or early C19
leaded pane casements on 1st floor and a similar 4-light one on the ground floor to
left. C20 2-light casements to right on each floor and a 3-light one to right of
centre on the ground floor. C19 or early C20 part-glazed door at centre. 2-storey
leanto along rear wall, also with some leaded lights.
Interior: left-hand room has chamfered and hollow step-stopped cross beams. The
right-hand end room has a chamfered axial beam and chamfered wooden lintel to
fireplace. 3 original roof trusses survive consisting of straight principals with
trenched purlins and collars halved on with notched lap joints.
This house survives in a very traditional state both internally and externally.
Other features such as original fireplaces also probably survive but have been
concealed.
