Description
The barns at North Lees Hall are farm outbuildings dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, constructed in a linked range of coursed rubble gritstone with quoins, plain gables, stone slates, and concrete tiles. The structure includes a five-bay cowhouse with overlofts, which has an 'L' shaped range added at the southeast end, along with a further extension to the southeast from the 19th century.
The cowhouse is two storeys high with five roof bays and features six external doorways, all with cambered heads supported by massive lintels and stone surrounds. The central three openings are now partially blocked to form windows, and there are some ventilation slits on both the ground and first floors. The first floor originally had a three-light recessed hollow chamfer mullioned window, now with only one remaining mullion and partially blocked. The rear elevation includes triangular vents.
Inside, there are four cruck trusses, each with collars and yolks, supporting single purlins with wind-braces and a ridge purlin. The 'L' plan range is two storeys high, with one and a half bays in each part, and features a former threshing floor served by a tall opening with a chamfered segmental arch. At the southeast end, there is a two-bay carriage or cart shed.
