Lilac Cottage

Long sub-medieval single-storey village house; of colourwashed rubble construction on a rubble plinth, with steeply-pitched thatched roof under a C20 corrugated asbestos one. Central stack with plain rendered chimney and similar end chimney to L. The house has lower outer projecting service wings to the rear, forming a C-plan. Main entrance off-centre to R, with late C19 4-panelled door, the upper two panels glazed; segmental porch canopy on wooden brackets. To the R of the entrance is a masonry break; beyond is a 12-pane C19 casement with projecting cill. L of the door are two further, similar windows with a boarded door beyond; at the far L is a C20 tripartite plain-glazed window. 2 small original windows to the rear with pegged oak frames and late C19 4-pane glazing. Low rubble addition to R at rear, of two sections with modern window in a former entrance opening. C19 brick addition to L with pitched, slated roof; boarded door.

Open roof to hall and room beyond central chimney (L); both have evidence of plastered and boxed wind braces and, in places where these are missing, the mortising evidence remains. Large chimney breast to hall with C20 fireplace obscuring the implied inglenook. Within the front-facing wall in the hall is a small square bible cupboard with late C17 panelled door.
