Description
Willow Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, and has steeply pitched roofs covered with machine tiles. The building is L-shaped in plan, consisting of a two-cell lobby entry front range and a three-bay service wing at the rear left. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The central entrance has a half-glazed, half-panelled door, and there are three-light casement windows from the 20th century, with hoodboards above on the ground floor. The eaves are boxed, and there is a central ridge stack with a rebuilt capping. The right end has French windows and exposed double purlins.
The lower kitchen and dairy wing includes scattered 19th and 20th-century casements, with exposed single purlins in the rear gable end. There is an external stack with offsets on the inner elevation, a lean-to tiled oven outshut at the rear, and a boarded door located behind the stack and oven. Additionally, there is a 20th-century lean-to addition in the inner angle at the rear.
Inside, the ground floor features double stop ovolo moulded axial binding beams, joists, and mid rails, with stairs positioned in front of the stack. The first floor has ovolo moulded cross axial binding beams and joists, reverse cranked bracing in the walls, a double purlin roof, lower butt purlins, and upper collars that clasp the purlins, along with cranked windbraces. The service wing contains run-out chamfered binding beams and tension bracing, with collars clasping single purlins.
