North Lee Farmhouse

North Lee Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, with additions likely made in the mid-to-late 18th century and the 19th century. The ground floor is constructed of dressed sandstone, almost of ashlar quality, while the first floor is of rendered cob. Rendered coursed stone rubble additions are present to the rear. The roof is gable-ended and covered with slate, with a 20th-century bitumen overlay. The stacks have been rebuilt with 19th-century red brick.

The farmhouse originally comprised a two-room central-entrance plan range facing south, with external end stacks. It includes a central entrance hall with a porch to the front and a staircase within a continuous outshut to the rear, and two gabled wings to the rear, probably 18th-century additions with one having a brick ridge stack.

The front of the farmhouse has five bays. The first floor features leaded wooden cross windows, dating from around 1700, with stanchions and saddle bars, and one opening metal casement to each window. Most windows have larger leaded panes, although some are likely later alterations. The ground floor has 20th-century plate-glass windows within older openings, each with dressed-stone flat-arched heads. The central entrance is a 19th-century nine-panelled door, with the top three panels glazed, chamfered panels, and a chamfered frame. A probable early 18th-century gabled dressed-stone porch has a hollow-chamfered plinth and a flat-arched entrance with shaped jambs; the interior of the porch contains side benches and a short flight of stone steps.

To the rear, the outshut has a 17th-century three-light leaded mullioned wooden casement that lights the half-landing of the staircase, with the centre light being an opening metal casement. There is a 19th-century half-glazed door to the right, with three beaded-flush lower panels and a three-part rectangular overlight. The left-hand rear wing has a 20th-century casement window in the gable end. The inner front of this wing has a 19th-century two-light wooden casement to the right, a boarded two-light wooden casement to the left, and a central boarded door, all with wooden lintels. The inner front of the right-hand wing has a ground-floor two-light wooden casement to the left with brick jambs, and a boarded door to the right, both with wooden lintels. The right-hand rear wing has a 19th-century three-light wooden casement on the first floor and two ground-floor two-light wooden casements with wooden lintels. A one-storey lean-to addition to the left-hand (west) end was altered in the 20th century.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room (kitchen) retains a cross beam which was formerly cased. A dog-leg staircase is located in the outshut at the rear of the entrance hall, with stick balusters and a chamfered square newel post. The first-floor rooms have not been inspected.
