Leigh Lodge

Leigh Lodge is a large house built in the late 16th century, likely incorporating earlier elements. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble with various ashlar dressings, including a plinth and string courses, and features a stone tiled roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with a large double-pile layout and small gabled wings projecting to the east and west, creating a symmetrical appearance.

The entrance front faces east and includes a full-height coped gabled porch at the center, featuring a 4-centred arch outer door. Above this, there is a 3-light flat chamfered mullion window on each floor. At the first-floor level, a carved shield displays the arms of either the Harington or the Noel family. The inner doorway is also a 4-centred arch but is ornately roll-moulded. On either side of the porch, there are 3-light flat chamfered mullioned windows on both floors.

The west front has a central full-height coped gabled projection that houses a staircase. On its north face, there is a small doorway, likely a remnant of an earlier structure, featuring a 4-centred arch with deeply cut roll moulding that transitions into a flat chamfer lower down, all set within an ill-matched squared head. The gable includes various flat chamfered mullions and a bell case on the north wall. To the left of the gable, there are two ground floor windows, one with three lights and the other with four lights and a king mullion. The right bay is blank except for a moulded string course at first-floor level that continues around the house.

The south elevation showcases the paired gables of the double pile, with tall 3-light mullioned windows on each floor and stone stacks in the valley. The rear elevation features a brick arch doorway to the right, alongside a late 19th-century dairy, which is brick-built with a hipped tiled roof and long windows with chamfered wood mullions. Above, there are two gable windows.
