Description
Lees Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse built of English bond brick, featuring brick stacks and plastered brick chimney shafts, with a slate roof. The building has a double depth plan, facing south-west, with a front and back room on each side of a central through passage that includes the main stair. The rooms are heated by gable-end stacks, with the stacks on the right (south-east) projecting. The principal rooms are located at the front, while the service rooms are at the rear.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front, centered around a doorway that features a 19th-century part-glazed four-panel door with an overlight, all under a gabled hood supported by curving timber brackets. Above the door is a 12-pane sash window, with 16-pane sash windows on either side. The ground floor windows have flat brick arches above them, and the roof is gable-ended. Inside, the farmhouse retains a significant amount of original joinery detail.
