Description
Wind in the Willows is a building that was formerly two cottages, which have been converted into one. The eastern part dates from the 17th or early 18th century and is constructed of coursed stone rubble with a thatched roof featuring coped gable ends. It is a single storey with an attic and has two windows, which are modern two-light casements with glazing bars. There are end chimney stacks. The western part is an early 19th-century cottage, also made of coursed stone rubble, with a low-pitched pantile roof and coped gable ends. This section is two storeys high, has two windows with modern two-light casements with glazing bars, and a modern door to the left, along with an end brick stack.
