Willow Cottage

Willow Cottage is a building that was formerly two houses, now combined into one. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and underwent substantial restoration in the 20th century. The structure features square-panelled timber framing with rendered or painted infill, incised render, and weatherboarding, along with high painted coursed squared and dressed limestone. There was a formerly separate house adjoining, made of painted brick and painted rubble with square-panelled timber-framing at the gable ends, topped with a thatched roof that has decorative ridge thatching and rendered stacks. The building has a rectangular plan and stands two storeys high with an attic.

The entrance front includes 20th-century single-light, two-light, and three-light wooden casements with glazing bars, as well as garage doors on the far left. The left half of the building has two two-light eyebrow dormers, while the right half features two two-light roof dormers. There are two gabled part-glazed porches centrally placed for each of the two sections. The north-facing elevation has two 19th-century casements with glazing bars and six 20th-century casements, mostly with horizontal glazing bars, on the left side. The right side has two paired 20th-century casements with glazing bars on the ground floor, a blocked segmental-headed double opening towards the right gable end, and a blocked two-light window within the blocking. There is also a double-width flat-roofed eaves dormer and a 19th-century two-light casement on the ground floor of the gable end facing Willow Bank Road, with a large 20th-century casement with glazing bars above it. The interior has not been inspected.
