Description
The Lilacs is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and substantial restoration work. It is constructed of red brick, some areas colourwashed and rendered, and has a steeply-pitched pantile roof. The house is two storeys and attics, arranged in a T-shape. Most of the windows are 20th-century sashes and two- and three-light casements. The south elevation is of red brick, with a platband running at first-floor level, and features a three-window range; sashes are on the ground floor, and casements above. The west gable is crow-stepped, and a central chimney stack is prominently positioned. Later lean-to additions are present on the north and east sides, as well as in the north-west angle. The north gable is also crow-stepped, with an attic casement, a platband at eaves level, and a rendered finish. The west elevation incorporates double doors with elliptical-headed glazing, leading to a 20th-century lean-to porch.
