The Original House

Woodcocks is a 17th century half-timbered farmhouse, set between the cathedral cities of Gloucester and Hereford. It was  originally part of the Earl of Beauchamp's Madresfield estate. It was sold off along with many other small farms in the area , as well as the Beauchamp Arms in Dymock in the early 1900's.

This was in order to create a sympathetic wing to the original house, along with the additional comforts of central heating, wood-burners and double glazing.
