Description



TL 96 SE ELMSWELL NEW ROAD

5/32 Lilac House
-

-- II

House, early C17 with fragmentary medieval core. 2 storeys and attics. 3-
cell lobby-entrance plan. Timber-framed and roughcast: the parlour block to
right has an oversailing gable tiebeam with delicately carved console brackets
beneath. Concrete plaintiled roof. An axial early C17 chimney of red brick:
sawtooth shaft and plinth with ovolo-moulded cornice. 3-light C19 casements
at 1st storey and small-pane sashes with sidelights below. Mid C19 4-panelled.
entrance door, the upper panels glazed. Interior: The C17 parlour block to
right was added to an earlier building of which only the walling remains: this
shows smoke-blackening and appears to have comprised an open hall of C15 or
early C16 which must have had additional cells at left or right, or both:
heavy arch-windbraced studding. The walls were raised and a floor inserted
with good chamfered joists in late C16 or c.1600. C17 windbraced clasped-
purlin roof throughout. A large lean-to outshut of late C18 or early C19 to
rear.
