Description
Lea House is a house and cottage that has been combined into one dwelling, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has a three-cell direct entry layout, with the cell to the left having formerly been a separate dwelling. It stands two storeys high and has four first-floor windows.
The main entrance has a 20th-century half-glazed door, with a blocked doorway from the former cottage now replaced by a casement window to the left. The main door is flanked by casements set in moulded stone architraves, which were originally mullioned. There is also a single-light fire window in a moulded stone architrave to the extreme right. On the first floor, all windows are casements, with the left window at an intermediate level and the right window in a plain stone architrave. The building features gable coping, a shaped kneeler, and a ridge stack. Inside, there is a Bressumer beam over the fireplace in the main room.
