Description

Willowdene is a two-storey red brick building from the first half of the 18th century. It features an old clay tiled roof with a valley gutter running parallel to both roof slopes and the gable ends facing Forge Lane. The building has one original cast iron window in a small square, along with two bay windows that have tiled roofs, all with lead lights. There is also a blind bulls-eye window in one of the gable ends.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
