Description

No 7, including the front boundary railings, is a detached house located on Cole Road in Lusty, dating from the 18th century. It is built of local stone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The house has three storeys and two bays, with three light small-pane casement windows under exposed timber lintels on the ground and first floors, and 20th-century plain casements on the second floor. There is a six-panel door located under a timber hood supported by brackets between the bays.

To the north, there is a tall single-storey extension covered with triple roll clay tiles. The front boundary wall, which is situated one metre from the house, is made of stone rubble approximately 600 millimetres high, topped with wrought iron railings featuring a spearhead and arch design, likely from the late 19th century. The boundary also includes a matching gate and returns to the house at both ends.

The property briefly served as an inn known as "The Flowers" during the mid-19th century while the adjacent railway was being constructed. The proprietor, Mr Ederkin, was also a subcontractor for the railway company.
