Description
Leahall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1873, designed by John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster. The building features a mix of English garden wall bond orange brick and timber framing, topped with a red tile roof and a single gable brick chimney with diamond stacks. It has a two-storey, three-bay north front, where the central bay includes a two-storey gabled porch with open timber framing below. This porch has a four-centred arched entrance, topped with a carved bressumer that displays the date. Above the entrance, there is a three-light wood mullioned window with a carved tiebeam featuring the Westminster monogram. The end bays of the farmhouse have brick mullioned windows and a dentilated band at the first floor. The timber framed upper storey showcases three-light wood mullioned windows set in barge boarded and finialled gabled half dormers. There is a second domestic range located at the rear of the farmhouse.
Inside, the layout is simple, centered around a hall. The staircase features reeded flat balusters. The living room is highlighted by a white marble fireplace with a large cast-iron grate resting on lion's feet, which bears the Westminster arms on the fireback. An attached range of outbuildings is located at the rear but is not included in this listing.
