Willow Tree Farmhouse

Willow Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that dates back to the early 16th century. It has been divided at one time into two separate units. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof. It is one storey high with attics and follows a three-cell layout. There are early 19th-century single-storey lean-to additions with slate roofs at both ends.

Inside, there is an internal chimney stack made of old red brick, built in two stages, along with a later external stack on the left side. The windows are randomly placed, featuring various 20th-century leaded casement windows, one old six-pane fixed window, and one three-light casement window with a single horizontal bar. There is a plank door on the extreme right and another door in the left lean-to.

The interior showcases exposed timbers, indicating that the house was originally single-storey throughout. Remnants of diamond mullioned windows on the upper floor once extended below the current floor level. Tie beams on either side of the internal stack have been cut to allow access to the upstairs. The ceiling features plain timbers and chamfered main beams, with evidence of original doorways, including one with an arched head in the left end room. In this room, one post-head retains a carved shield similar to those found at Home Farmhouse on West Street. To the right of the stack, the timber lintel displays a double roll moulding with run-off stops, while to the left, the open fireplace retains some Tudor brickwork that is still partly tuck-pointed. The roof structure includes clasped side purlins, small principals, and windbraces.
