Description
The Willows is a pair of cottages dating from the early 19th century and possibly earlier. The cottages are constructed of brick, with some remaining earlier flint walls, and feature a pantiled roof. They are two storeys high and consist of five bays. Each cottage has a simple moulded doorcase with corner paterae and blind windows above. The sash windows have glazing bars that create oblong horizontal panes and are topped with skewback arches. The roof is hipped and has three stacks located at the rear.
