Willow House

Willow House is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with an addition from the 18th century to the north. It has remained largely unmodernised and unaltered since the 19th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It consists of three cells and has two storeys plus an attic. There is a possible underbuilt end jetty to the south, facing the road. The house features three 18th-century three-light casement windows with old square-leaded glass. The entrance is through a small gabled porch made of colourwashed brick, which contains a 19th-century four-panel door. There is also a boarded door to the extreme left. Inside, there is an internal stack with a plain shaft made of narrow brick. Attached to the right (north) gable end is a 1½-storey pantiled addition used as a scullery or dairy, which has one two-light window with old diamond-leaded glass and a plank door. The interior has many timbers that are largely concealed, with limewashed on-edge joists at the service end. The hall and parlour feature early 19th-century fireplace surrounds with cast iron grates. The bakehouse retains an old brick floor, a range, and a bread oven. The upper floor has not been examined.
