Description
Willow Cottage is likely a building of medieval origin, though significantly altered in modern times. It is timber framed and originally plastered, with a brick facing on the front, which has been painted. The roof is thatched and features gabled dormers. A rear wing retains the original timber-framed structure. The interior displays good, heavy, closely spaced exposed timber framing, along with ceiling beams and joists.
