Description
Willow Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with the left bay rebuilt in the late 18th century or early 19th century, and a restoration in the late 20th century. It is constructed of dry, coursed rubble and has a stone slate roof. The building features a three-room plan with a central gabled wing at the rear and stands two storeys high.
On the first floor, there are three windows. The farmhouse has quoins and a lean-to porch situated between the left and central bays. The porch has a well-crafted moulded doorway with an ornamental arched lintel and a quoined surround. The left bay contains a renewed 2-light window on each floor that is in keeping with the style. The central bay features a 5-light mullion and transom double-chamfered window with a hoodmould on the ground floor and a 3-light window on the first floor. The right bay is gabled and has a 4-light double-chamfered window on the ground floor and a 3-light window on the first floor, both with hoodmoulds. The gable coping is hollow-chamfered on cut kneelers, and there are two prominent ashlar stacks, one to the left of the doorway and one on the rear wing.
At the rear, the central projecting wing has a 4-light double-chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould on each floor. The left gabled bay is partially obscured by an attached barn, while a late 20th-century lean-to extension is located to the right. The left and right returns have late 20th-century windows that are in keeping with the overall design.
Inside, there is an arched inner doorway with the original studded 3-panel door, stone benches within the porch, a fireplace with a deep lintel, and chamfered beams.
