Lilac Cottage, Horrocks Fold

Lilac Cottage, located at Horrocks Fold, is a house that may have originally been a farmhouse and possibly consisted of two dwellings. It was constructed in three main phases between the early 18th century and the early 19th century. The exterior features roughly coursed and squared rubble in small blocks, painted white, with stone flagged roofs.

The earliest phase includes a low two-storey range on the right side, which has two inserted windows on the first floor—one in a small square original opening and the other in an enlarged opening. The lower windows have also been inserted into earlier openings, likely not original, as one is next to a blocked two-light rough mullioned window situated higher up. The building has rough angle quoins in parts and a boulder plinth.

To the left, there is a gable end stack, with a secondary phase built against this gable wall, featuring a blocked doorway next to it and inserted casement windows on both floors to the left. An early 19th-century section adjoins this building; it is two storeys over a basement with a two-window range and a doorway in an added gabled porch next to the right-hand gable. There are also inserted or renewed windows on each floor and a wide blocked segmental arched wagon entry to the right. The building has gable chimneys. The interior has not been inspected.
