Description

Lillands Farmhouse is a house dated 1741, constructed from thin coursed hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It features a hall and cross-wing plan, forming an L-shape on the south front and an F-shape on the north, where an added kitchen wing is located. The building is two storeys high with a three-room south front consisting of three bays. The first bay includes a gabled cross-wing that has a double framed chamfered mullioned window with square reveals of five lights, which previously had a hoodmould. Above this, there was a similar window that was altered in the late 18th century or early 19th century to two large 12-pane sash windows with plain stone surrounds. The second and third bays have slightly recessed flat faced thin mullioned windows of four lights on each floor. Between these bays is a doorway with a square-headed lintel that is decoratively inscribed with the date.

At the junction of the cross-wing is a finely dressed stack, and to the right of the gable is an attached two-cell building of earlier date, possibly from the mid-16th century. This building features diamond set wooden mullioned windows of three lights, visible only from the interior, on both floors, and a fireplace with a Tudor arched lintel and finely carved rosette spandrels. The left-hand return wall of the cross-wing has a flat faced mullioned window of five lights with a four-light window above it. Two block windows remain on the first floor, and there is an extruded gable stack. The gable of the rear kitchen wing has quoins and slightly recessed flat faced thin mullioned windows of five lights on each floor. Attached to this is a single-storey gabled outshot with an entrance doorway featuring tie stones and a three-light chamfered mullioned window with square reveals.

Inside, the cross-wing has a late 18th-century fireplace in the Georgianized first-floor south front room, which has an ovolo moulded surround and a pulvinated frieze. The kitchen wing includes a panelled screen made of deal, formed of large panels.
