Description
The Willows is an early 19th-century house, altered in the late 20th century. The front is rendered and colourwashed over clay lump, set on a brick plinth. It is a two-storey, two-window fronted house. The south front, facing the road, has three casement windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor. A 20th-century door is located in the west gable, providing access. Three further casement windows have been added to the front. A two-storey rear extension was built in 1965. Two early 20th-century two-light casement windows are visible on the south wall of the extension. The roof is gabled, with an external gable-end stack on the west side. The interior has been completely remodelled in the late 20th century.
