Description
Leventhorpe Cottages, originally built as stables for Leventhorpe Hall, have been converted and altered into dwellings. The building is dated 1856 on the inner side of the entrance arch and is constructed from magnesian limestone with matching dressings and a slate roof. It is arranged in a U-shape around a courtyard, with a screen wall and entrance arch closing off one side, and a domestic wing attached to the northeast corner.
The structure is single-storey and symmetrical, featuring a semicircular entrance arch with impost bands, a horse-mask keystone, and ornamental cresting at the top. The gabled wings each have pediments, with round-headed windows that break into the pediments and fielded panels flanking the windows. One gable has been rendered below the band and includes an inserted window, while a two-flue chimney is positioned at the apex of the gable.
Inside the courtyard, the main range includes a segmental-headed wagon door on each side, with the right door altered to serve as a window, and a round-headed blind window in the center. Above this, there is a three-stage bell tower featuring an achievement of arms on the first stage, a circular clock face on the second stage, and an octagonal bellcote topped with a cornice, domical roof, and ornamental weather-vane. The wings, including the domestic wing, have impost bands on their round-headed windows and doors. The roofs are low-pitched, with the main range having a hipped roof and the other wings featuring stone coping on the gables.
