Description
Lea Cottage, with an attached barn at the south end, is a cottage likely dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and cob, topped with a thatch roof that features a stack at the right gable end, which includes a brick shaft and a projection for a bread oven. The barn has a corrugated iron roof. The cottage has a two-room layout, with a smaller unheated room to the left of the entrance passage. The staircase is located at the rear, entering at the left-hand corner of the larger heated room on the right. The barn extends from the lower left end and includes a double cart entrance. The building is two storeys high and has a two-window range with 19th and 20th-century fenestration, featuring all two-light casements with six panes per light on each floor. A 20th-century porch with a gabled thatched roof is present. The interior was modernised in the late 20th century, but some 19th-century joinery remains. The roof has not been inspected.
