Description
Willow Dene and the adjoining former stables are a rectory and stables that have been converted into a private house, dating from the mid-18th century. The building features cement rendered walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, which is complemented by cement rendered chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has four bays, along with a rear extension and L-shaped stables that create an overall U-shape. The main entrance includes a panelled door with an overlight, alongside a similar door to the right that lacks an overlight, both framed in painted stone surrounds. The property has sash windows with glazing bars, also set within painted stone surrounds. The stables include a blocked segmental carriage archway and casement windows.
