Northlea And Buildings Attached To South East

Northlea and the buildings attached to the southeast are a house likely dating from the late 16th century to the 17th century, with later alterations. The structure is timber-framed with brick and plaster infill and features a pantile and Welsh slate roof, along with external sandstone rubble and brick stacks. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a main two-bay range aligned northwest to southeast and a one-bay cross-wing at the southeast end. There is an additional range attached to the southeast with another cross-wing at its southeast end. The building is one storey high with an attic.

The northeast elevation displays a 1:2 window arrangement, featuring mid-20th century casements with two lights. The two windows in the center and to the right are set in timber-framed dormers. The gable front on the left has lozenge patterns created by scissor struts, a moulded bressummer supported by two curved brackets, and a 3-light mid-20th century ground floor casement with a contemporary glazed late 20th century door to the right. The main range includes a 2-light casement to the left of center, an extruded sandstone side stack with a brick shaft to the right, and a central late 20th century lean-to porch finished in roughcast with a glazed door. There is also a weather-boarded lean-to on the right-hand return.

To the left of the gable front, there is a single-storey timber-framed range with a 3-light casement and two garage doors leading into another framed cross-wing, which has been partly rebuilt at the rear using brick rubble and breeze block. The frame of the main range consists of three panels high from cill to wall-plate, while the cross-wing has four panels. The interior has not been inspected. The southeast part of the building was formerly a smithy.
