Description
27 Leicester Road is a building divided into two sections, with the western part likely dating from the 17th century and the eastern part from the 19th century. The western section features a gable end facing the street, topped with a small cupola and a weathervane shaped like a blow lamp. There are also finials on the gable ends. The building has a slate roof, with eaves raised above an earlier line visible on the south side, and a rendered roughcast facade. It stands two storeys high and has two windows with sashes that contain late 19th-century glazing. The eastern section, which is also rendered and has a slate roof, is two storeys tall and has three windows with similar late 19th-century sashes. There is a side door in this section, and a modern shop front has been added. The sashes feature panelled reveals, and there is a long rear wing.
27 Leicester Road, along with Nos 1 to 21 (odd), Nos 25 and 27, forms a group with Nos 1 to 3 Leicester Yard, the entrance gates and bandstand in New Park, The Golden Fleece Public House, and Nos 36A and 38 opposite.
