Lordships Cottage Lordships House

Lordships Cottage and Lordships House are two houses that were originally a farmhouse, built in the early 19th century. The structure features a stuccoed timber frame with a brick plinth. The front range has a gable-ended slate roof, while the rear wing has steeply-pitched plain tile roofs and brick gable end stacks.

The building has a two-room plan for the front range, with a central entrance hall, a rear outshut, and a service wing located behind the left room. Most of the service wing is now a separate dwelling. The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay east front, with stucco that includes insised panel decoration. The 19th-century windows consist of 16-pane sashes in flush cases, with a 12-pane sash in the centre of the first floor. The central doorway features a moulded wooden architrave, paterae in the frieze, shaped brackets supporting a canopy with small pendants, and a reeded flush panel door.

The single-storey rear wing has been partly raised to one storey and includes an attic, with casement windows and raking dormers. The interior of the front range has not been inspected but is said to contain a simple stick baluster staircase with a mahogany handrail, along with two-panel and four-panel doors. The rear wing, known as Lordships Cottage, features a chamfered axial beam in a small central room and a large brick gable end fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel. The attic rooms in the rear wing have exposed tie-beams in the partitions and exposed timber wall-plates, although the roof structure is ceiled.

Lordships Farmhouse was constructed after the enclosure of 1813 on the site of the former village green.
