Description

This is an early to mid-19th century weaver's house located on Green Balk Lane, Lepton. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high. A former central doorway has been blocked, and a three-light window is situated to the left and right of the former entrance. On the first floor, a five-light window is visible to the right, and likely a matching window to the left, although only three lights are currently visible due to ivy growth obscuring the remaining two.
