Description
Lily Cottage, located at No 37 Church Street, is a 19th-century building featuring mid to late 19th-century details. It is two storeys high with two window bays and a central doorway. The roof is covered with pantiles, while the first floor is roughcast and the ground floor is stuccoed. The sash windows on the building do not have glazing bars and are set in frames, with the lower windows featuring vermiculated keystones. The doorway has a slightly cambered head and a vermiculated keystone, leading to a six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above.
Next door, No 38 is also a 19th-century building with similar detailing but has a slightly lower frontage and ridge than No 37. It has two storeys, with one window bay and a door closely spaced together at the left end. The roof is hipped to the south, and the front is stuccoed. The first-floor window is a three-pane wide sash, with a stuccoed archivolt and apron. The ground floor features a sash window without glazing bars, also with a stuccoed archivolt and vermiculated keystone, along with an apron and a plinth. The doorway has a painted archivolt and vermiculated keystone, with a six-panelled door where the top two panels are glazed and the centre two panels are fielded, set within plain reveals.
On the right-hand return of No 38, there is a splayed bay window on the first floor, and on the ground floor, a sash window with a stuccoed archivolt and apron. Nos 1 to 4 Tudbold Almshouses, Nos 37 and 38, and the London Inn form a group.
