Description
Lee Cottage is a mid-19th century house constructed of unrendered stone rubble. It features a fishscale patterned clay tile roof with gable end stacks that have been rebuilt with diagonally set twin brick shafts. The building has a T-shaped plan, consisting of two rooms in the front range and an entrance located on the right side of the rear service range.
The house is two storeys high and has a two-window range on the front. All of the 19th-century windows are intact, with two-light casements on the upper storey and three-light casements on the ground floor, which include a cast iron lozenge glazing pattern. There are tiled roofs over the verandahs at the front and the right side of the rear range, supported by replaced timber posts. The entrance features a plank door. The interior has not been inspected.
