Dairy Court, Estate House And Courtyard, Lees Court

Dairy Court, an estate house and courtyard at Lees Court, was built around 1790 by Sir John Soane. It features red brick construction and a slated roof. The estate offices are two storeys high, set on a plinth with box eaves beneath a hipped roof, and a stack positioned to the right. The first floor has nine small glazing bar sash windows with gauged heads, while the ground floor has six semi-circular headed glazing bar sashes in gauged and rebated surrounds. There are three half-glazed doors with semi-circular fanlights in double rebated surrounds, located to the left, centre, and right, each accessed by a flight of three steps with iron handrails.

The dairy building in the rear courtyard has been significantly altered; it is square in plan with low single-storey side wings and wooden casements. The interior features panelling. The courtyard entrance is marked by a gauged elliptical arch topped with a large pediment. The walls to the left, which connect with the stables, are eight feet high and include carriage entrances, with large piers topped by ball finials.
