Lea Farmhouse

Lea Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with extensions added around 1600 and later. The building has two storeys, with part of it featuring an attic, and it includes four windows. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a hipped roof made of concrete tiles. There is an axial chimney made of 17th-century red brick. The windows are early 19th-century small-pane three-light casements, with wooden hoodmoulds above the ground floor windows. The entrance features a 19th-century six-panelled door, where the upper pair of panels are glazed, and there is a gabled mid-19th-century canopy supported by carved brackets.

Inside, some unmoulded heavy framing from the mid 16th century is exposed at the center of the house. An extension to the right includes arch windbraced studding and a blocked diamond mullioned window. The hall has a lintelled open fireplace dating from the 16th or 17th century, along with a rear service chimney from the 17th century. A rear staircase wing from the mid 18th century features a staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail. The house is surrounded by a medieval moat.
