Lily House And Garden Wall And Gate Piers To Front

Lily House is a house dating from around the middle of the 19th century, situated in Lansallos, near Polperro. The house is constructed of stone rubble with rendered dressings, and has a roof with gabled ends, covered with slate on the front slope and asbestos slate to the rear. Rendered brick chimney stacks rise from the gable ends.

The house follows a double-depth plan, with rooms on either side of a central stair hall, and smaller service rooms to the rear. The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring three windows and a projecting two-storey canted bay in the centre. Modern PVC windows are set within the original openings, which are framed by rendered segmental arches with rusticated keys. The ground floor has modern windows flanking the central canted bay, which contains an original porch with canted side walls. A string course with a key motif runs above the ground-floor openings of the porch. The first floor continues the central bay with modern windows in original sash openings, set beneath chamfered lintels with chamfered jambs. These are flanked by further modern windows in sash openings.

The interior of the house has not been inspected.

A stone rubble garden wall runs along the front, with ashlar gate piers. The gate piers are topped with moulded caps and ball finials.
