Willingham House

Willingham House is a small country house dating from around 1730, with alterations made around 1870. It is constructed of red brick, stock brick, some render, and has cast iron detailing. The roofs are slate, with some lead sections, and feature five ridge stacks, two hip stacks, and two gabled dormers with sliding sash windows. The house comprises a central 18th century block with 19th century additions to the north and south.

The west front is two storeys and an attic, with eleven bays and a first-floor band. A doorway is positioned to the left, featuring a broad reeded surround and a partially-glazed door. To the right of the doorway is a sliding sash window. Both the door and window are set behind a five-bay veranda with a lead roof and cast iron lattice work. The two bays on the right side of the veranda have lower panelling and upper fixed glazing bar windows. Two further 19th century bays are positioned to the right, featuring two glazing bar sashes. Three splayed, projecting bays, also dating to the 19th century, extend to the left of the doorway, each with three glazing bar sashes. Above the doorway, a glazing bar sash is partially concealed by the veranda roof, with a smaller glazing bar sash above it, featuring a segmental head. Two 20th century plain sashes are followed by a glazing bar sash with a segmental head, and then two further 19th century glazing bar sashes. Upstairs, three 19th century glazing bar sashes are present, alongside broad 19th century corbelling at the eaves.

Inside, the 18th century hall contains two archways, one with scrolled brackets. A three-flight staircase from around 1730 features delicately carved tread ends, a pair of turned bannisters with square knops to each tread, and a moulded handrail. An 18th century grey and white marble fireplace includes large, bold, flanking fluted columns with plain capitals, and an inner bolection moulded surround.
