Description
Willinghurst Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has been extended at the rear and is now part of a stable block designed by Philip Webb for Willinghurst House, built between 1887 and 1889. The cottage features a timber frame that is exposed on the left-hand return front, with brick infilling, galleted sandstone, and brick on the front. The exterior is tile hung in some areas, displaying a "club" pattern, and it cants out over the ground floor. The roof is plain tiled and the building stands two storeys tall with two framed bays and a corbelled end stack on the left side.
On the first floor, there are two diamond-pane windows, while the ground floor has two larger windows. A Tudor-style door is positioned in the center. The rear wing is lower and extends back, consisting of one storey and an attic with two tall brick stacks featuring dentils. There are two large gabled wooden boarded dormers, five small windows with cambered heads, and one six-light window that drops down to the left through the plinth moulding. To the right, a single-storey range with a hipped roof projects, and the left-hand return front includes garage doors that face into the stable yard, topped with coved eaves.
