Description
Lees House Farmhouse is a house built in 1678, which has been altered over time. It is constructed from sandstone rubble, with the left side of the facade rebuilt using squared stone, and it features a slate roof. The house has an end-entry plan with two units and stands two storeys tall with three bays.
The left bay includes late 19th-century windows that are slightly chamfered, featuring mullions and sash windows with glazing bars: a three-light window with a hood on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor. The central bay has a four-light mullioned window on each floor, showcasing an outer chamfer, inner hollow chamfer, and a hood. Above the door, on the first floor to the right, is a two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned window with a hood. The door jambs have moulding that extends onto the lintel, which features three semi-circular arches. Above the door is a plaque inscribed with 'RRB 1678'.
Chimneys are located on the left gable and between the two units. The left gable is topped with a coping and is pebbledashed, accented with rock-faced quoins. At the rear of the house, there are later outshuts. Inside, the property contains moulded main ceiling beams and a late stair located just inside the front door, although any evidence of a 17th-century hearth in this area has been lost. The left room features a moulded sandstone fireplace with a decorated lintel inscribed '17 RB 18'.
