Description
The Willows is a house located in Little Crakehall, dating from the mid-18th century. It features a rendered exterior and a graduated stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower l-bay and a two-storey wing set back to the left.
The main house has a central half-glazed door that is framed by a wide moulded architrave, topped with a pulvinated frieze and a segmental pediment. All the windows are sashes with glazing bars and stone sills, with the first-floor windows being taller than those on the ground floor. The eaves cornice is dentilled and moulded, and there is a shaped kneeler and stone coping on the left side. There are brick stacks at both ends, with one on the ridge that features a moulded stone cornice.
The one-bay wing is constructed of rubblestone and has a plinth. It contains a six-panel door with a fanlight set in a round-arched recess. To the right of this door is a small 20th-century casement window, and above it is a 12-pane side-sliding sash window. The wing has a pantile roof and an end stack to the left. The building is attached to a pair known as Guyzance on the right.
