Description
Willow Cottage is a detached house with an 18th-century core and early to mid-19th-century additions and front. It is constructed from dressed limestone and rubble stone, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof and features brick and stone stacks. The house is two stories high with a three-window south front. The central entrance consists of a glazed door with a flat stone hood supported by brackets, flanked by 16-pane sash windows. On the first floor, there are three 16-pane sashes and a plain blocking course at the roofline.
The left side of the building has a 4-pane sash window, a blocked doorway, and a 16-pane sash on the ground floor, while the first floor features a 4-pane and a 16-pane sash. The right side also has 16-pane sashes and an early 20th-century two-storey addition. At the rear, there is a brick gable end from the 18th century, which is the only visible part from that period. A former stable on the right has been converted in the 20th century to serve as the current entrance porch. Inside, most fittings are from the 20th century, but a wooden label found in the fireplace, dated 1856, states, "This house builded 1856, finished 1857," along with the name of the Bradford builder, likely referring to the rebuilding of the south end of the house.
