Leigh House Farmhouse

Leigh House Farmhouse is a house, latterly used as a farmhouse, dating to the late 17th century, with elements from the earlier 16th century and remodelling in the early 18th century. Further extensions were added, likely in the early 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond, with plain tile roofs and brick stacks. It has an irregular plan; the main range is aligned north-east to south-west, with an earlier range to the south-west facing south-east. The main house forms a roughly L-shape, facing north-west, and a staircase wing and two extension wings connect to the earlier range, all aligned north-west to south-east.

The south-east front shows an early range set back to the left, and the late 17th-century main house to the right. The early range is one storey and attic with a storey band, featuring two bays, 19th-century casements, a central window at mezzanine level, gabled attic dormers, a raised roof verge to the left, and an end stack with lozenge section shafts. The main house has two storeys and an attic, with a storey band, a lateral stack to the right, a central pilaster buttress, and a straight joint in the brickwork to the left. There is a late 19th-century panelled door to the right, three gabled dormers containing casements, and a blocked window on the first floor to the left with a gauged brick head. The left-hand gable has two glazing bar sashes to the ground and first floors, also with gauged brick heads, and 20th-century attic casements with a gauged head and brick dripstone.

The north-west front shows three gabled wings set back progressively to the right, along with a recessed bay of the main house to the left containing gauged head glazing bar sashes. The late 17th-century staircase wing features a 20th-century panelled door flanked by a pair of small casements with segmental heads, and irregularly placed glazing bar casements with three-centred heads. The right-hand wing has a massive end stack, and a 20th-century glazed porch is situated in the angle between this and the central wing.

Inside, the late 17th-century staircase is an open well design with barley sugar twist balusters and a moulded handrail. The early range contains an early 18th-century short straight staircase with turned balusters, and several panelled window shutters.
