Description
Meon Lea, formerly known as The Rectory, is a house that dates from the late 17th century and features early 19th-century elements and extensions. The walls are made of painted brickwork, which is divided into panels by a high plinth that is interrupted by the sills of enlarged windows, a first-floor band, and pilasters at each bay. The north side extension has a plain design with rubbed flat arches. The roof is half-hipped and covered with tiles.
The east front elevation has two storeys and features four windows, with a single-storey addition on the north side that has one window. The windows are sashes in exposed frames, while the addition has sashes set in reveals. There is a stucco porch in a simple style, which includes a pediment, cornice, frieze, plinth, and recessed side panels that contain small coupled windows, along with a half-glazed door.
