Seed Lee Farmhouse

Seed Lee Farmhouse is a farmhouse, likely from the 17th century. It features a stone plinth with battered walls made of timber box frame construction, filled with clamstaff and daub, and has a graded slate roof with overhanging eaves. There is a double chimney stack on the ridge and another chimney behind the ridge at the left gable. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan and stands two storeys high.

At the junction of the first and second bays, there is a two-storey gabled staircase turret with a small two-light sliding sash window on the upper level. At the junction of the second and third bays, there is a matching two-storey jettied porch with a rounded doorway opening, a heavily studded inner door, a stone bench, and a similar window above. The first bay has a small casement window on the ground floor, while the second and third bays feature large square casements with glazing bars on the ground floor and three-light sliding sashes above. Both gables have two-light windows on the first floor, with the right end window having a hoodmould, and small two-light attic windows near the apex. The rear wall has one two-light sliding sash on the first floor, with the ground floor concealed by a continuous wooden lean-to.

Inside, timber framing is visible throughout, although not exposed. The housepart in the second bay and the kitchen in the third bay have large inglenooks with straight ovolo-moulded bressummers and pairs of similarly moulded beams. The housepart is now partitioned to create a passage along the front wall. There is a spiral newel stair in the stair turret and a dogleg stair with some splat balusters in the front outer corner of the kitchen. The first bay contains two service rooms, and there is a very large smoke hood and original roof timbers. This farmhouse represents an exceptionally complete survival of a building type that is now rare in this area.
