Flower Lillies

Flower Lillies is a country house, now divided into several units, built in the 18th century and significantly rebuilt and enlarged in two phases during the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of brick, rendered with stucco, and colourwashed, featuring low pitched hipped roofs made of Welsh slate and rendered ridge stacks. It is designed in the Italianate style and consists of two storeys, partly over a full basement, with an irregular L-plan.

The northeast range, dating from around 1830, has seven by five bays and is characterized by deeply overhanging eaves. The north elevation includes a stone balustrade over the basement area, a central Tuscan Doric porch with antae and attached columns, and a segment-headed doorway with a raised and fielded panelled door. There is a balustraded parapet, with three single bar sash windows to the left and two similar sashes on the right of a 20th-century doorway. The first floor features a tripartite sash window flanked by three single bar sashes on each side.

The east elevation has a central doorway with a glazed door and rectangular over-light, flanked by two plain sashes on each side. Above, there are five plain sashes with louvred shutters. A cast iron verandah runs the full length of the east elevation and returns on the south elevation.

The south range, built in the 1870s, has a first-floor band and three bays to the east, each with three segment-headed windows on both floors, featuring moulded surrounds and plain sashes. There is a full-height canted bay on the south side with similar windows, where the ground floor windows have keyblocks linked to the band. To the left, there are four bays with segment-headed windows with plain surrounds.

At the angle of the south and northeast ranges is an Italianate tower with a pyramidal roof, featuring a round-arched window on each face with moulded surrounds, keyblocks, and impost bands. There is also a service and stable courtyard attached to the west.

Inside, there is a re-set 18th-century staircase with carved tread ends and three turned balusters per tread, the middle one being twisted, along with a wreathed and ramped handrail and fluted newels.
