About Willowgrove
The National Inventory rates Willowgrove Regional, one of 232 in Knockrea. Its record dates Willowgrove to 1820–1830. 29 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The small scale of this house is enlivened by the unusually fine joinery of the doorway and windows of the front elevation, where the intricate glazing bars of the original windows and the decorative details of the doorcase and fanlight display a high level of craftsmanship.

Questions about Willowgrove
Is Willowgrove on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20867045).
Can you visit Willowgrove?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Willowgrove built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1820–1830.
Is Willowgrove protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
