Description
Willow Cottage and Mount Pleasant Cottage are two cottages dating from the 19th century. They are constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks topped by 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottages have a two-room plan and face east. Willow Cottage, located on the left (south), features an end stack, while Mount Pleasant Cottage has rear lateral stacks. Both cottages are two storeys high and present a somewhat balanced five-window front, which includes various 20th-century casements with glazing bars. Notably, there is a large iron-framed casement at the left end that rises into the eaves, and the other first-floor windows have thatch eyebrows above them. Willow Cottage has a two-window front with a central door, while Mount Pleasant Cottage has a three-window front with a door positioned to the right of centre. Each cottage has a simple 20th-century porch with a tiled monopitch roof. The roof of Willow Cottage is gable-ended on the left, while Mount Pleasant Cottage has a hipped roof on the right. The interiors of both cottages feature plain carpentry details.
