Description

Upper Lee is a house dating from the early 17th century, which has been partially timber-framed and altered in the 18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. The front elevation of the original building features stone rubble on the ground floor, with rendered walls above that include brick dressings. The right end wall has a base of stone rubble and is finished in red brick above in Sussex bond. The rear elevation also has a stone rubble ground floor, with box framing above that includes diagonal tension bracing and red brick infill. The roof is pantiled and has red brick chimneystacks, with a half-hipped design at one end. The original part of the house is two storeys high and has four windows fitted with 20th-century casements. To the left, there is an early 19th-century addition made of stone rubble, also with a pantiled roof. The left side and rear elevations feature a Gothic window. Inside the original part, there is a straight staircase with splat balusters.
