Description

Lilac Tree House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century alterations and extensions, as well as further modifications in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of rendered and colour-washed brick, topped with a pantile roof and rendered stacks. It features a central-stairhall plan and is one room deep, with a rear extension added. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window front. A central 20th-century door is located beneath a divided overlight. The windows are four-pane sashes with painted stone sills, and all openings have keyblocks. There is a raised band at the first floor and dentilled eaves, with coped gables and shaped kneelers at the ends. The house has end stacks.

Inside, there is an open-string, open-well staircase that rises through the first floor to the attic. The balusters have been encased for preservation, while the handrail is moulded and wreathed, ramping up to each landing and half-landing, with elaborate foliage-carved treadends. The hall features dentilled coving, and the hall doors consist of six raised and fielded panels.
