Description
Old Forge Cottage and Willow Cottage are a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century. They are constructed of rubble stone and feature a stone slate roof with coped verges. The right side has a stone stack, while a brick stack is located opposite the door of No 117. The cottages have a baffle entry and are two stories high with seven windows.
No 117 has a 20th-century gabled porch that includes a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement window to the left and two similar windows to the right. No 116 features a glazed door set in a chamfered surround, accompanied by two 2-light mullioned casement windows to the right. A continuous moulded lintel string course runs above the door lintel. On the first floor, there are seven 2-light mullioned casements.
The left side of the cottages has a 2-light 20th-century casement window on the ground floor, with two 2-light mullioned casements above it on the first floor, and a 2-light mullioned casement in the attic. The right side includes a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and a flat-roofed porch. The rear of No 117 has a two-storey addition from the 1970s. French windows on the first floor open onto the flat roof of a single-storey extension to No 116. There are also 20th-century attic dormers.
The interior of No 116 is said to have an open fireplace but lacks beams, while No 117 is reported to retain chamfered beams and an open fireplace.
