Lea Cottage

Lea Cottage is a house built in 1898, with additions made around 1972. It was designed by Ernest Gimson for his half-brother Mentor Gimson, with the building supervised by Detmar Blow. The cottage features whitewashed slate and granite rubble stone with stone dressings, topped by a thatched roof with rubble stone ridges and side and end stacks. It is 1½ to 2 storeys tall and showcases Gimson's traditional architectural style.

The entrance is now located at the rear, featuring a 20th-century porch situated between two projecting wings. The left wing extends from the original cross wing, while the right wing has been raised from 1 to 1½ storeys with dormers in the roof. The windows are stone mullioned with leaded light casements. The glazed porch includes a 3-light casement to the right, with a 2-light and a 1-light window above. The left wing has a bay window with a 3-light casement above it. The return front of the right wing features two 3-light casements and a door, with two 2-light dormers above. There is also a 2-light dormer on the end of the right wing.

On the right side facing the road, there is a 3-light casement, a 2-light dormer, and three fixed 1-light windows. The left side has a large stack and a first-floor 2-light casement in the angle beside it, along with a tall mullion and transom window with a 2-light casement above, and a 4-light window with a 2-light above in the 20th-century extension. The original front, now the rear, features a gabled cross wing to the right with a 4-light casement and a 3-light window above. A square 20th-century sun-room is located on the return, with the original front door inside and a 3-light casement to the left, along with a 2-light dormer above. Inside, some original woodwork, beams, and beam-bookcases can be found. The house has remained in the Gimson family.
