Description
Fair Lea is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of random rubble with dressed quoins on the right side, and features an asbestos tile roof with coped verges on kneelers and brick end ridge stacks. The facade is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and three bays. It has narrow paired sash windows with glazing bars set in bead moulded stone surrounds, with similarly moulded dividing mullions. The central opening on the first floor contains a single wider sash window with glazing bars. The central door opening has a plain stone surround and features a six-panelled door, with the top two panels being glazed. Above the door is a slab stone hood supported by elaborately cut stone brackets. To the right side, there is a pent roofed outshut of one bay, which has paired broad plank doors under a concrete lintel, and a close stall casement in a block stone surround, topped with a pantile roof.
