Lyley House

Lyley House, now a hotel and formerly used by the Local Authority, is a large detached dwelling with a mid-18th century facade and a largely late 19th century main body. The facade is constructed of ashlar and features a moulded parapet cornice that returns and stops, topped by a Welsh slate roof. The main body of the building was substantially rebuilt in 1893 and 1901 following a fire, though retaining the original fine classical facade. It is three storeys high with a four-window front. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within moulded stone architraves and bull-nose cills. Above the first-floor windows are triangular or segmental pediments, and a string course runs below them, continuing to form a flat door hood supported on stone consoles. The entrance has a six-panel door. A small, one-windowed extension of squared rubble is located on the left back panel and is inscribed with "W & S.A. 1893" (William and Sarah Armitage). The interiors are entirely from the 19th century. An exterior photograph is held in the National Monuments Record.
