Leazes Hall

Leazes Hall is a house that has been converted into a private old people's rest home. It was built in the early 18th century, with some additions from the 19th century. The building features coursed squared sandstone with tooled ashlar dressings, a plinth, and quoins. The right extension is rendered and made of rubble, also with quoins and ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and has rendered and brick chimneys along with stone gable coping.

The main house is two storeys high with five bays, while the right extension has two lower storeys with two bays and a one-storey, one-bay section. The main block includes a 20th-century porch that encloses six-panel double doors and an overlight, all set in a lugged architrave beneath a large scroll-bracketed hood. The windows are margined sashes within architraves, and the building has chamfered quoins.

The right extension features two ground-floor and one first-floor margined sashes with projecting stone sills. There is a rubble bay on the right with a similar sash that has a flat stone lintel and a projecting stone sill, while a small right extension is blank. The steeply-pitched roof has stone gable coping on moulded kneelers, with two end brick chimneys that have plinths and bands. The right extension has a tall rendered chimney on the gable with an offset. The left and right returns have plain stone surrounds for rectangular attic lights.

At the rear, there is a two-span addition that is raised and extended from the original lower one-span wing. A 20th-century porch on the right return is not of interest. Inside, there are some two-panel doors with L hinges and some 18th-century four-panel doors in architraves.
