Description
Spencer House is a large house built around 1835, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a stuccoed exterior and a low-pitched slate roof with wide bracketed eaves. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a wide semicircular projection at the center that includes a three-light window, which has been replaced with 20th-century casements. The central entrance consists of a glazed door flanked by windows, and there are stuccoed chimneys with cornices. The interior has not been inspected. Spencer House is one of a row of three houses constructed in New Leeds on land sold by Earl Cowper for villas outside the town center. The speculative development was not successful, and by 1847, only a small number of plots had been built on, contributing to Sir Walter Scott's financial difficulties. The house is included for its group value.
