Woodroberts 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.
Date first listed: 10th March 1988
