Lilybrook Farm & Dispensary
The Lilybrook Farm serves several purposes. It is home to the Lilybrook family, a working farm (mainly for Rivervale Starflower), a small bed and breakfast for traveling visitors, and a shop for the sale of various strains of pipeweed. It has been built up over the course of some thirty years and is designed far more for comfort and efficiency than for defense.
Purpose / Function
The farm has three important purposes. It is the home of the Lilybrook Family, situated a short distance from the village of Rivervale. It is also a working farm devoted to raising crops of a proprietary blend of pipeweed, known known as Rivervale Starflower (named for its inspiration). Finally, it is a place of business in the style of a winery's tasting room. In this case, there is a spacious and conforable lounge stocked with colorful beanbag chairs, macrame wall hangings and thick, fluffy carpets.
Architecture
The farmouse is a curious blend of halfling and human architecture. The family quarters are built into the hill, after the traditional burrow. The main house is almost built like a façade, butting up to the burrow entrance. The house proper is a two-storied half-timbered structure with fancy slate roof.
The main building is bisected by a central hallway (which includes the staircase to the second floor). To the right lie the bed-and-breakfast portion of the building, and to the left lie the commercial portion. The bed and breakfast side hosts a full halfling kitchen and small, cozy dining room on the ground floor and two comfortable bedrooms on the second. On the commercial side there is a shop on the ground floor and the lounge (for "tasting," as it were) on the second floor.
