Description
The Black Lion Public House is an 18th-century building located on the south side of High Street in Leighton Buzzard. It features a front made of local bond brickwork, using grey headers with red brick dressings. The building has a steeply pitched tiled roof with two box dormers and a central chimneystack. It stands two storeys high with attics and has a dentil cornice.
The façade includes four normal-sized sash windows that are flush set with heavy glazing bars, along with one dummy window and three narrow windows (two of which are dummy), arranged in a pattern of 1:2:1:2:1. On the ground floor, there is one sash window and one canted bay window. At either end of the front, there are doorways with stone surrounds, rusticated pilasters, and cornice hoods supported by cut brackets.
