Willow Farmhouse

Willow Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, with alterations made in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The building is one storey with attics and features a two-storey cross-wing added to the left side. It is a three-cell open hall house constructed from timber framing and plaster, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the right-hand end. There are two gabled dormers from the 18th or 19th century, one of which has three leaded-glazed lights.

An early 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick has a frieze of red terracotta tiles arranged in a diaper pattern. To the left, there is an external service chimney that is similar but has a sawtooth shaft. The farmhouse includes late 18th or early 19th-century three-light casement windows and a mid-20th-century battened and boarded entrance door. There is a single-storey extension to the left from the 17th or 18th century and a lean-to extension from the 19th century on the right.

Inside, the smoke-encrusted open hall roof was originally of crownpost form, but the post has been damaged due to later alterations, resulting in the removal of the octagonal shaft below the braces. The roof features a plain splayed capital with four-centred curved solid plank braces. The hall has widely spaced tension-braced studding and a blocked four-centred arched cross-entry doorway. The cross-wing was added around 1600, when basecrucks were inserted at the upper level at the junction with the service cell of the older building.
