Description
A mid 19th century, estate farmstead shown in its present form on the 1873 Ordnance Survey (as Willington House).

A late-Georgian style, L-plan house of 2 storeys, built of Flemish-bond, chequerwork brick with a hipped slate roof on bracketed eaves to the front, and 4 brick stacks behind. The stacks have double and triple square shafts between zig-zag tilework. The symmetrical, 3-bay, west entrance front has a central, timber-framed, open porch on a brick dwarf wall with glazed side panels. The entrance has a panelled door and a plain overlight. The windows are 12-pane hornless sashes in the lower storey, with similar 9-pane sashes in the upper storey, all under wedge lintels, with a sill band in the upper storey.

The 3-bay left (North) side wall, incorporating the gabled rear wing, has windows similar to the front, except for added French doors on the right in an earlier, added, canted bay window, and a replacement half-glazed door at the left end. The 2-window right side wall also has windows similar to the front. On the right side is a projecting 1-storey cheese room, built of brick with a slate roof and a brick stack. It has a boarded door and a 3-light window in the gable end, and 4-pane sash window under a wedge lintel in the left side wall. The back (East) of the house faces the farmyard. It has a wide gabled bay on the left, and replacement windows under segmental heads and wedge lintels. In the lower storey, the cheese room roof is continuous with an L-plan pentice on iron posts.

Attached to the rear wing is a lower, U-shaped, farm block around a cobbled yard, built of brick with original graded-slate slate roofs. It comprises a lofted former cart house, a granary and a stable on the North, a lofted stable to the East and a lower shippon to the South. On the North side are double, half-glazed doors in a shallow, added, lean-to porch on the left side, then a round-headed doorway, probably to a granary stair, and a further doorway with a small-pane iron-frame window to its right. Another, similar, loft window is above the door, and at the left end is a single skylight. The East side, hipped at the right end, has a similar iron-frame window to the left, then a doorway, window opening, another doorway with boarded door, and an iron-frame window at the end. A single loft loading door has a boarded shutter. On the south side the small later shippon has a doorway to the left, then 2 split doors, of which the lower section only has been retained, and window opening on the right.
