Lyleston House

Lyleston House is a 2-storey, 3-bay house built in 1798, which was later expanded in the 19th century with a large Tudor addition, creating an L-shaped layout. The original house features painted render with painted masonry margins, a base course, quoins, and an eaves course. The later addition is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, with ashlar margins and dressings, a base course, hoodmoulds, and a string course.

On the southwest elevation, the original 1798 house has a central pilastered and corniced door with a modern glazed door above which is a window, flanked by symmetrically arranged bays. To the outer left is a lower single-storey wing with a modern picture window at ground level. The later addition, advanced to the outer right, has two bays facing southwest, featuring a porch in the re-entrant angle with the original house. This section includes chamfered reveals, a stepped hoodmould with labelstops, and a shaped parapet above a panelled door. The broad gable is slightly advanced to the outer right, with a canted window at ground level, a blocking course, and a bipartite window on the first floor with a hoodmould. There is also a ventilation slit in the gablehead, and a narrow recessed bay to the left with a bipartite window at ground level and a gabled dormer breaking the eaves above, topped with a ball finial.

The return elevation to the left (northwest) has symmetrically disposed windows at the first floor and a corbelled apex stack. The southeast elevation consists of two bays, with a broad gable slightly advanced to the outer right, featuring a canted window at ground level, a blocking course, and a bipartite window on the first floor with a hoodmould. A narrow recessed bay to the left has a bipartite window at ground level and a pedimented dormer breaking the eaves at the first floor.

The northeast (rear) elevation shows various alterations and lean-to additions, with a canted dormer to the outer right and rooflights. The original house has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, while the later addition features plate glass and 4-pane timber sash and case windows. Both sections have grey slate roofs, with the earlier house having lead flashings, and the later addition featuring ashlar sawtooth skews and gablet pedestals with ball finials.

The interior was not seen in 1995.
