Description

Lea House is a house dating to around 1840. It is constructed of red brick with gauged brick lintels and has a slate hipped roof. The building is two storeys high, with a cellar below. There are three flush sash windows, the central one being narrower. A wooden Tuscan porch with two slender columns and pilaster responds is situated at the centre, topped with a flat entablature hood. The front door has four moulded panels and panelled reveals. Square bay windows with replacement box casements flank the porch. The eaves are panelled and feature moulded scroll brackets.

Lea House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
