Woodlands Farmhouse: not listed
Woodlands probably dates from about the late 18th century, this substantial dwelling has several similarities with Little Mead, including their white-painted front elevations, 19th century casements and the traditional open fronted lean-to porch. Both, too, have a larger-than-cottage appearance, not only Woodlands Farm with part of an earlier threshing barn still attached, but also Little Mead, with its lengthened, four-window-wide frontage and extensive wing at the rear.
Adjoining the north-eastern end of the farmhouse are the remains of a large unconverted threshing barn.
Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
Woodlands Farm is depicted on the modern mapping.
