Description
Lower Lea Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the mid-19th century and around 1900. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with red brick dressings, some parts rendered, and features a plain tile roof with a partial catslide over an outshut at the rear. The building has an irregular plan and consists of one and a half storeys with a basement and two storeys.
The left side of the farmhouse has a lower 19th-century block with a lateral stack, while the right side features a block from around 1900 with a stack at the rear and an external end stack. The front has four windows and includes a slightly projecting gabled wing off-centre to the left, which has a two-storey bay that projects in front of the mid-19th-century left-hand wing. The windows are 19th-century wooden mullioned and transomed designs. There is a six-panelled door located in a recessed porch between the first and second windows from the left. The farmhouse is included in the listing because it incorporates part of Lea Castle.
