Leighton House

Leighton House is a building that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the early 18th century, although it likely has earlier origins, and has undergone alterations and extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is made of coloured roughcast brick with a painted stone plinth and rusticated quoins, topped with a slate roof and rendered stacks.

The entrance front features two storeys and an attic with five bays. An oak door on strap hinges is set in a single-storey canted porch that contains a half-glazed door. The windows are sashes, with horizontal sliding sashes in the attic, and there are 20th-century storm guards and top-hung casements. The rear side has a gable end wall with two storeys and attics, featuring two windows. There is a two-storey, three-bay extension to the right, which is set forward. The gable wall includes one canted bay and one square bay window on the ground floor, with the right end extension also having a square bay. The square bays have French doors, while the canted bay has tall casements with glazing bars. The first floor and attic windows are recessed sashes with stone sills and glazing bars. The right return has a two-storey, two-window front. To the left, there is a wide two-storey square bay window with small pane casements, and to the right, there is one sash window on each floor. The building features raised first floor and eaves bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a parapet, all made of painted stone.

Inside, the earlier part of the house has six-panel doors, a cornice in the west room decorated with fruits and foliage, a staircase with splat balusters, and a refixed 17th-century chimneypiece in the lounge. The later part includes a 19th-century staircase with formed balusters and four-panel doors. On the first floor, there is a hob grate in an oak chimneypiece on the landing, along with four-panel doors that have a centre lock rail and raised and fielded panels.
