Lion House

Lion House is a Grade II listed building located at No. 15 Broad Street in Leominster. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and was originally associated with Alexander & Duncan's Lion Foundry, known for producing agricultural machinery.

The building features a stucco exterior with a steep-pitched hipped composite tile roof and a brick ridge stack. It stands three storeys tall with a cellar and has a three-window range. The windows include tripartite 2/2, 6/6, and 2/2 sashes, some of which have old glass, all set in broad beaded cases. Above the windows, there is a band adorned with six garlands and a moulded cornice at the parapet, which includes a central figure of a lion.

The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts that are recessed behind four moulded segmental arches with enriched keyblocks, supported by square columns. To the right, there is a four-moulded-panel door with a plain fanlight beneath a moulded semicircular arch. The overall design includes a moulded cornice with figurehead stop-consoles. There are also panelled double doors with cambered heads in a chamfered frame leading to a passage at the rear.

At the rear, the building has twin gables, one of which is slate-hung while the other features brick modillion eaves and a brick stack. Additionally, there is a two-storey cross-wing with a hipped Welsh slate roof and a tripartite window featuring 2/2, 6/6, and 2/2 sashes in an oak case, situated above late 19th-century triple 6/6 sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
