Upper East Lee

Upper East Lee is a house dating from the early 17th century, constructed from large dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It features a two-cell layout with an aisle at the rear under a cat slide roof and has a gable entry. The front is two storeys high, while the rear is single storey. The house has a chamfered fire-window that was originally three lights, with a similar two-light window above it. There is a double chamfered mullioned window that retains only the king mullion, and there is a break in the stonework. The eastern room is blind, and there is a 20th-century inserted doorway over a flat-faced mullioned window of five lights. The gables are coped with kneelers, and the left gable has a stack, with another offset to the rear. The left-hand return wall features a doorway covered by a mid-20th-century single-storey gabled porch and a two-light chamfered window to the aisle. The rear has a three-light chamfered window that lacks mullions, and the return wall has two three-light chamfered windows also lacking mullions. On the first floor, there is a three-light chamfered mullioned window, with small solid lights with chamfered surrounds on either side. Inside, entry is through a heck wall with a post supporting a bressumer, and there is a timbered arcade to the aisle with a half lap joint at the junction of the tie beam.
