Description
Lees Farm Cottages is a small farmhouse dating from the 17th or 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. The building is timber-framed and has roughcast rendering with a tiled roof. It consists of three bays aligned east to west, featuring a chimney stack at the eastern end of the middle bay, located at the rear of the ridge. At the rear of the western end, there is a gambrel-roofed extension from the 20th century. The eastern end has a large flat-roofed dormer, while there is an external chimney stack at the western end, which dates from the 19th century. The cottage is single-storey with attics and includes three 20th-century casement windows, along with three additional windows in catslide dormers. The gambrel roof is half-hipped at both ends.
