Description

The Willows is a detached house built in the mid-19th century for the Compton Park Estate. It features dressed limestone and a hipped Welsh slate roof with gable end brick stacks. The house is two stories high and has two windows on the front. There is a blocked central door flanked by a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement window with gothic-style glazing bars and hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are two three-light mullioned casements with the same details. The left side of the house has 20th-century French windows on both the ground and first floors, with a single ovolo-moulded casement window to the right. The right side features a six-panelled door with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets to the left, along with a single casement window and a half-glazed 20th-century door to the right. The rear of the house has two-light and three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements and a blocked doorway. Inside, there are six-panelled doors, a Tudor-arched stone fireplace, and window shutters. This building is a notable example of estate architecture in Compton Chamberlayne, associated with the Penruddocke family.
