Statement of Interest

The height of the ceiling at ground of Woodville would suggest that the house was originally single storey and was subsequently raised to 2-storey. The internal features, of plasterwork and chimneypieces also would indicate that the 1st floor can be dated to earlier 19th century. The house is historically linked with Rose and Ivy Cottages (see separate listings). The land to the S of Ivy Cottage is still part of the Woodville property. Part of the outbuilding which projects to the S from the single storey wing (to W) has, in recent times, been converted into dwelling accommodation, and is the part called Rose Cottage.
