Description
Lilac Cottage is a timber-frame cottage that likely dates from the late 17th century. The exterior is rendered, and it features a thatched roof with gabled ends. A central brick chimney stack is present. The cottage has one storey and an attic, with three modern casement windows on the ground floor. There are also two eyebrow dormers, each fitted with modern casements. At the west end, there is a later one-storey addition that includes a modern porch.
