Description
Lessland Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse located in Godshill. The front range features tile hanging on a red brick base, while the other elevations are constructed of red brick with a tiled roof and white brick end chimneystacks. The building has two storeys and attics, with three windows. The gable ends are adorned with stone coping and kneelers, and there are two gabled dormers fitted with sliding sashes. The farmhouse includes three 20th-century aluminium sash windows and a central brick porch with stone coping, inscribed "Thomas White 1729," leading to an eight-panelled door.
To the left, there is a 19th-century cement rendered lean-to. The left wing at the rear is likely also early 18th century, built of stone rubble with ashlar quoins and white brick dressings, and has a tiled roof. This wing is one and a half storeys high, featuring a deep plinth, a gable end with kneelers, and brick tumbling. It has one sliding casement dormer and three casements.
Inside the front part of the house, there is a staircase with splat balusters and stop-chamfered beams with lambs tongue stops. The rear wing contains an open fireplace with a wide cambered surround featuring a keystone, a bread oven, and a contemporary wooden mantelshelf supported by brackets with wooden pegs. Lessland Farmhouse is noted as one of the original Domesday manors, which escheated to the Crown in 1075 following the rebellion of Roger de Breteuil.
