Description

Willow Dene is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled concrete tile roof, along with a ridge stack made of stone finished in brick. The building has a two-unit plan and is a single storey with a one-window range. There are timber lintels above a 20th-century door and a 19th-century three-light casement window. A 20th-century door and porch are located at the rear. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
