Willow Hill

Willow Hill is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a subdivision and re-roofing that occurred in the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed gritstone rubble and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays, with a lobby-entry plan that is one room deep. Notable architectural details include quoins and a plinth. The entrance is located between the first and second bays, featuring chamfered quoined jambs and a cambered lintel, with a blocked chamfered round-headed light above.

The ground floor windows, which are chamfered mullion windows, show various alterations: in bay 1, a three-light window is now reduced to two lights; bay 2 has a blocked doorway that has been converted into a window, with a square window to the left; bay 3 has a three-light window reduced to two lights, with a blocked doorway to the right; and bay 4 features a square window. On the first floor, bay 1 has a three-light window now reduced to two lights, bay 2 has a four-light window now reduced to two lights, bay 3 features a square window, and bay 4 has a three-light window now reduced to two lights. The house also has shaped kneelers and gable copings, with a banded stack opposite the entrance and at the right gable end.

At the rear, there is a blocked first-floor door in bay 2. Inside, there are large back-to-back fireplaces opposite the entrance and a stone staircase against the rear wall in bay 3. The house was originally built as a single dwelling that combined living space with farm storage. In the late 18th century, it was divided into three cottages, which involved inserting two doors and making alterations to the mullion windows to increase light. Around this time, or shortly thereafter, the eaves were raised, and a new roof structure and chimneys were added. The property was in the process of restoration at the time of the resurvey.
