Number 22 And Number 23 (Lilac)

Numbers 22 and 23, known as Lilac, are a pair of cottages built between 1900 and 1901 by W Huckvale for Charles Rothschild. They are constructed from coursed rubblestone and feature a hipped thatch roof with a stone central ridge and end stacks, which have linked double and triple flues made of ashlar. Designed in the Vernacular Revival style, the cottages are two storeys high, with the roof sloping down to first floor level in the centre.

The front facade has a three-window arrangement, with three-light leaded stone mullioned windows on either side of a central dormer that contains a paired two-light window. On the ground floor, there is a similar four-light window with a hoodmould on either side of a recessed central section that includes additional windows and doors. The roof at the ends of the pair also descends to first floor level. These cottages are part of a significant group of model estate buildings in Ashton, constructed by Charles Rothschild.
