Description

Leasingham Hall is a small country house, now converted into six flats, dating back to the 17th century, with significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in 1836, and later 20th-century changes. The structure is built from coursed limestone rubble with brick detailing and ashlar dressings, all topped with a slate roof. There are multiple stacks including a lateral one, and two gabled and three ridged moulded ashlar stacks. The gables feature ashlar coping with kneelers, some having finials. The building exhibits flush ashlar quoins, a chamfered ashlar plinth, a chamfered first-floor band, and ashlar corbels supporting the eaves.

The east front, the main entrance face, is three bays wide and two stories high. It features a central projecting porch with diagonal buttresses, a chamfered eaves band, and a coped parapet extending over a small gable containing a shield. The porch has a chamfered four-centred arch inscribed "1836," with an inner doorway also featuring a chamfered four-centred arched surround, double partially glazed doors, sidelights, and an overlight. To the left of the porch is a two-light chamfered mullion window with a hood, and to the right, a projecting external stack bearing an ashlar shield displaying the Myddlton arms. Above, there are two two-light chamfered mullion windows with hoods. The south front has two bays and two stories plus an attic. It includes an ashlar canted bay window with coped battlements and glazing bar casements, and a single three-light chamfered mullion casement with a hood. Above are two two-light chamfered mullion casements with hoods, and higher still, a small single flat-headed lancet window with a hood. The west front, with three bays, displays buttresses between each bay. A pair of cross casement double doors with a hood, a doorway with a 20th-century door, and a single glazing bar sash under a segment head are present. Above are similar sashes, and two gabled dormers with two-light casements; a small flat-headed lancet with a hood is located in the gable to the right. A tall two-and-a-half-story, two-bay wing and a lower, flat-topped linking block extend to the west. The link block has a doorway with a six-panel door and overlight under a segmental head with an ashlar keystone on the south side, alongside a small two-light chamfered mullion window with a flat head. The west wall of this link features a single, similar sash on each floor. The link is topped with an ornate wooden balustrade. The south wall of the west wing has a single glazing bar sash with a segmental head and keystone on the first floor, and above, a small glazing bar sash and a two-light casement. The west gable wall contains two oval windows on the upper floor, with weathered moulded ashlar surrounds featuring scroll keystones, likely dating from the early 18th century and repositioned around 1836. A single-story range of garages is located to the rear. The house suffered a fire in the early 19th century and was repaired and partly rebuilt in 1836.
