Lyddendale House

Lyddendale House is a house dated 1756 for Thomas Pilcner, with 19th-century alterations, a mid-20th-century extension, and later 20th-century modifications. The front is constructed of red and blue brick in Flemish bond, while the rest is in English bond, featuring red-brick window jambs and vertical strips. The extension is made of red brick in Flemish bond, and the roof is covered with plain tiles. The house has two storeys and five bays, with an additional bay on the right. It has a stepped plinth, and the entrance, located at the center of the original range, features a door with six raised and fielded panels set in a doorcase with moulded pilasters, a cornice, and a flat hood. Above the door is a datestone, and to the right of the door is a brick inscribed with what appears to be 18th-century serifed lettering, "MP". The ground floor has four-pane sash windows in slightly narrowed openings, with segmental brick arches and dripmoulds. The eaves are stepped and dentilled, and the hipped roof has stacks at the left end, to the left of the center of the original range, and at the right end of the original range, which is from the 20th century.

At the rear, the plinth is also stepped. There is an old doorway on the left with a 20th-century door, and a three-light leaded casement window under a segmental brick arch with a dripmould. On the right, there is a 20th-century French window, a two-light window to the left, and a small window above on the right. The first floor has two three-light leaded casement windows. An added outshut is located on the right. The left return features a stack that projects slightly, with a two-light window on the left below the eaves and stepped dentilled eaves.

Inside, the ground floor has chamfered spine beams with lamb's tongue stops and joists with run-out chamfers. The front door has old ironware, and there are two large fireplaces in the central rooms with brick jambs and chamfered timber bressumers. The fireplace in the left room has a former bread-oven opening, while the one in the right room has candle or lamp recesses and a later fireplace inserted. A winder stair at the right end features column-on-vase balusters for the landing balustrade.
