Description
Lee Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been altered and partly remodeled around 1800 and is now used as a house. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof with two levels, including gable chimneys on the higher section and a ridge chimney on the lower. The building originally had three bays and was two storeys high, but the first bay has been altered and remodeled to create a double-depth, three-storey structure, with tusking at the inner end of the second-floor walls suggesting an unfinished plan to raise the other parts as well.
The original section includes a single-storey gabled porch in the center, a recessed four-light stone mullion window with a thin hoodmould to the left, and a three-light flush mullion window above it, along with an altered window. On the right side, the ground floor window was likely originally four lights but now has one central mullion, with the date 1743 recently inscribed above it. The altered first bay on the left features a doorway with a plain surround, a three-light casement window to the left, and two windows on the first floor—one being a two-light flush mullion and the other at the top of a blocked opening that seems to have been a loading door. There is also a stepped triple-light window at the second floor. The right return wall has three recently inserted windows. The interior has been altered, making this farmhouse an unusual example of an incomplete conversion for early industrial purposes.
