Description
Willow Bank is a mid-19th century building located on Halifax Road in Edgerton. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched slate roof. The building has various coped gables with cut kneelers and finials, and it stands two storeys high with attics, showcasing crenellated parapets and raised quoins.
The windows are arranged in groups of two, three, and four lights, each featuring chamfered stone mullions and hoodmoulds. The lights are designed with different shapes, including flat-headed, 2-centred, and Caernarvon-arched styles, with two ground floor windows also having transoms. A one-storey projection is located by the front door, topped with a balustrade that is pierced with inscribed quatrefoils and includes a gargoyle at the corner.
The porch is positioned in antis and is adorned with a moulded and cusped 2-centred arch supported by clustered crocketed responds and a hoodmould. Gabled attic dormers are present, featuring fishscale slated cheeks, wooden finials, and trefoil ornamentation in the gable ends. At the west end of the building, there is a tower with a lower square stage and an upper octagonal stage, which includes sashed lancets linked by hoodmoulds and a crenellated parapet. The building is notable for its high-quality naturalistic carving, including rainwater heads.
