Summary

Two cottages, originally one property called Pipers Cottage dating to the early 16th century. The western half, previously known as Bullers Cottage was probably originally a three room and through passage plan. It has smoke-blackened roof timbers. The eastern half had a windowless front with garage doors at the east end. It was rebuilt as a separate dwelling (Willow Trees) in the 1970s and is not included as part of the listing.
