Description

Lee Hall is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a core that dates back to the 17th century. It features an ashlar facade, with random rubble at the rear and in the lower one-bay wing on the left. The roof is made of Welsh slate and the building stands at 2½ storeys tall with five bays. It has a double-span roof and a projecting former service wing at the rear, giving it a symmetrical appearance.

The entrance includes a 20th-century double door set within a doorway that has a moulded round-arched head, complete with a curved keystone and moulded imposts. Above this is a floating cornice and a pulvinated frieze, with a round-headed window in a similar frame above. The other windows on the ground and first floors are 12-pane sashes set in lightly-moulded surrounds, while the attic features 6-pane windows with similar surrounds. The building has bands at the ground, first, and second floor levels, alternating and rusticated quoins, and a moulded cornice. The gabled roof has kneelers behind the cornice, a feature from the earlier house, and stone-corniced gable stacks. The right side of the building has a massive truncated external gable stack, with a similar stack visible above the one-bay left extension.

Inside, the first-floor front room contains early 18th-century panelling and a fireplace with bolection moulding, while the rear room has a 17th-century stone fireplace with a decorative lintel. There are many 18th-century doors, internal shutters, and dado rails throughout the house, along with a late 18th-century wooden fireplace featuring Corinthian colonettes in the ground floor front room.
