Lees Cottages

Lees Cottages is a house, now a row of houses, dating from the early 16th century or earlier, with alterations from the late 16th century or early 17th century. The building is timber framed and pebbledashed, topped with a plain tile roof. It has one and a half storeys, featuring an exposed painted post to the left of the stack. The roof is half-hipped to the left with a gablet and hipped to the right. There is a multiple brick ridge stack located to the left of the center. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of one small two-light casement above the door, and a two-storey rectangular bay to the right that rises above the eaves, featuring a hipped roof and one three-light metal casement on each floor. The front has a boarded door with a rectangular leaded light under a canopy beneath the stack, and a similar door is located at the rear of the left gable end, in a rear lean-to. There is also a low lean-to at the right end of the front elevation. The interior has only been partly inspected but includes exposed framing and a clasped purlin roof in the left end bay, with common rafters and lower lapped collars towards the stack.
