Timber-framed and plastered. Pantiled roofs with axial chimneys of red brick. C19 and C20 small-pane casements. Willow Cottage has a C20 gabled porch with boarded entrance door. The house was subdivided in C19; Willow Cottage comprises the hall and parlour of the original house with a C19 2-storey extension co left, and Endcot is formed from the service cell. Good unmoulded timber-framing is exposed throughout. The front entrance doorway, now blocked, has a 4-centred arched head. The roof of the open hall is complete, and of coupled-rafter type. Studwork is quite widely spaced; some blocked and altered diamond mullioned windows. in late C16 an unmoulded upper floor was inserted into the hall and a fireplace was built in the cross-passage; the service rooms were united, probably becoming a parlour.
