Appraisal
The simple forms of these buildings indicates their practical origins. Although in poor condition, they retain interesting fabric such as timber sash windows and stable doors. While the buildings are modest and undecorated, the extensive stable block, with the associated worker's house, indicate the prosperity of the nineteenth-century inhabitants of Woodlawn House, with stabling for so many horses.
