Description
Lilley Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 19th century, although some parts may be older. The building is primarily constructed of Flemish bond red brick, featuring decorative burnt headers. The front ground floor is finished in plastered brick, while the first floor is tile-hung with timber-framing. It has brick stacks and chimney shafts, and a slate roof.
The house has an L-shaped plan, with the main block facing southwest. It consists of a two-room layout on either side of a central entrance hall that contains the main staircase. The left room is likely the parlour and has a gable-end stack, while the right room, probably the original kitchen, features a large projecting gable-end stack. There is a one-room service block that projects at right angles to the rear of the kitchen.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a single-storey service outshot in the angle between the two blocks. The exterior has a symmetrical three-window front with 19th-century 16-pane sash windows. The ground floor windows are centrally located within tripartite sash windows, which have low segmental brick arches above them. The central doorway features a 19th-century part-glazed six-panel door and is sheltered by a porch with a monopitch roof supported by plain posts. The main roof is gable-ended, while the roof of the rear block is hipped. The rear of the house includes some 19th-century casement windows with glazing bars.
The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey.
