Description
Tees House is a house, possibly once two houses, built in the late 18th century and altered in the late 19th century. It features coursed squared stone with quoins and painted ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof that has a stone ridge, chimney, and gable coping, along with one 20th-century chimney.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a two plus two window arrangement across two sections. The left side has quoins for each section. The first section on the right has a plain stone surround for a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight to the left. There are four-pane sashes in a canted bay window on the right and on the first floor, both with painted flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The second section on the left has similar lintels and sills for a central six-pane sash on the ground floor and two first-floor sashes. The roof features left end gable coping on moulded kneelers, and both end and central transverse chimneys with top bands, with the left end chimney made of 20th-century snecked stone.
The left return has a renewed door and a high overlight in a tooled stone surround under a relieving arch, along with a four-pane sash in a similar round-headed stair window above. The interior has not been inspected.
