Willow Cottage And Thwaite Cottage

Willow Cottage and Thwaite Cottage are two houses, likely originally built as a school, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century with alterations in the early 19th century that introduced a Gothic style. They are constructed of pink sandstone and cobble rubble walls with flush quoins, set beneath a graduated greenslate roof and rebuilt sandstone chimney stacks. Each house is a single storey with two bays. They both feature central studded plank doors within flattened segmental-arched surrounds, now recessed within 20th-century wooden latticed porches. The windows are 19th-century 2-light stone-mullioned windows with pointed heads, all set within stone surrounds.
