Description
Willow Cottage and Endcot are two houses that were originally one, dating from the early 16th century with alterations made in the 17th century and later. The building is a three-cell open hall house with two storeys, constructed with timber framing and plastered walls. It features pantiled roofs and axial chimneys made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. Willow Cottage has a 20th-century gabled porch with a boarded entrance door.
In the 19th century, the house was subdivided; Willow Cottage includes the hall and parlour of the original structure along with a two-storey extension to the left, while Endcot consists of the service cell. The timber framing is well-preserved and visible throughout the building. The front entrance doorway, which is now blocked, originally had a four-centred arched head. The roof of the open hall remains intact and is of the coupled-rafter type. The studwork is spaced widely, and there are some blocked and altered diamond mullioned windows.
In the late 16th century, an unmoulded upper floor was added to the hall, and a fireplace was constructed in the cross-passage, merging the service rooms, which likely became a parlour. A continuous outshut was added to the rear in the 19th century, revealing some 18th-century rope-pattern pargetting on the older rear wall. The building is believed to have previously been known as Rectory Farmhouse.
