Description
Leighs Hall is a medieval timber-framed and plastered house with early 16th-century work, likely of earlier origin. It has been significantly altered, added to, and renovated in the 20th century. The main block is two storeys high with a jettied upper storey at the front. A wing extends to the west at the north end, which is one storey with an attic. The windows are 20th-century casements, some featuring leaded lights. The roof is tiled. Inside, there are exposed timber framing and moulded ceiling beams, along with some original windows.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
