What is recorded here

Detached T-plan three-bay two-storey steward's house, built c.1870, having full-height projecting bay to front elevation with full-height canted-bay window, lean-to verandah to front re-entrant corner, and full-height return to rear. Now derelict. Pitched and hipped slate roofs, with terracotta ridge crestings, red brick chimneystacks and carved timber bargeboards. Red brick walls with chamfered cut limestone plinth. Brick walls to verandah with pointed arcade. Square-headed window openings with chamfered brick surrounds and limestone sills, and having remains of one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Located amongst outbuildings to the rear (west) of Woodlawn House.
This steward's house is an interesting structure, with influence from the Arts and Crafts style evident in its large chimneystacks, steep roofs, and red brick. The latter, which became popular in the late nineteenth century due to the increased mechanisation of production, is used to good effect here, with moulded and chamfered bricks used to decorative effect. It is one of several interesting demesne buildings at Woodlawn.
