Description
The Cottage and Willow View are two cottages dating from the 17th century. The Cottage features a timber frame with colour washed rough cast, while Willow View has a red brick facing. Both cottages have pantile roofs and are one storey with attics, each topped with red brick ridge stacks. The Cottage has three bays, with the entrance located at the rear, a two-light horizontal sash window on the east gable end, and three 20th-century casement windows on the road elevation. Willow View consists of two bays, featuring two two-light horizontal sash windows with glazing bars and cambered heads, along with two dormers that have sloping roofs and two-light horizontal sashes, one of which includes glazing bars. There is a plank door to the left of Willow View, accompanied by a 20th-century wooden porch.
