Description

Lilac Cottage is a 17th-century cottage constructed from rubble Doulting stone, topped with a clay pantile roof featuring projecting eaves and bargeboards on the end gables. It has two brick chimney stacks and is two stories high with three windows and a central entrance. The ground floor showcases two-light beadmould mullion casement windows, each with dripmoulds. The left-hand and the left side of the right-hand ground floor windows have nine panes with vertical glazing bars near the edges and gothic tracery. The entrance features a square-headed stone door frame with beadmould and a dripmould above, leading to a vertical boarded door. To the left, there is a two-storey extension that shares the same roof.
