Description

Upper Lea Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1725. It features uncoursed limestone rubble with some red brick dressings and a plain tile roof, designed in a T-plan. The building has a basement, two storeys, and an attic, with a 19th-century gabled eaves-dormer on the left and end stacks. The facade has three bays, with 19th-century segmental-headed wooden mullioned and transomed windows on the first floor. The ground floor has two-light 20th-century segmental-headed metal casements. There are four steps leading to the central door, which has six raised and fielded panels, a lugged architrave, a three-light rectangular overlight, and a semi-circular hood with console brackets and a moulded cornice. To the left, there is a boarded cellar door, and to the right, a one-storey block with an end stack.

Inside, there is an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase featuring three twisted balusters on each tread and a cluster of four balusters as the newel. The staircase has a cut string with shaped tread ends and a moulded handrail. The ground floor room to the left includes raised and fielded panelling, a moulded cornice, and a wall cupboard with a shaped-head panelled door, fluted keystone, and coved interior with shaped shelves.
