Description

Willow Tree Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is a single storey with attics and features three windows arranged in a lobby-entrance plan. The cottage is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that has an axial chimney and an eyebrow dormer. The windows are modern casements, and there is a thatched gabled porch with a 20th-century entrance door.
