Description

Willow Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with brick noggin infill and has a thatched roof that is hipped to the left, complete with two flat-headed dormers. The cottage is one storey with an attic and includes a 20th-century enclosed porch with a red tiled roof on the right side. There are two diamond leaded casement windows, and a central red brick chimney stack that retains its original structure. Additionally, there is an extension at the rear.
