Legggatts Farmhouse, And Leggatts Cottages, Numbers 1 And 2

Leggatts Farmhouse and Leggatts Cottages, Numbers 1 and 2, are two linked farmhouses located in Kings Walden, dating from the 16th century, with later alterations in the 17th century and further changes to the eastern house in the mid-19th century. The timber frame is only exposed on the rear gable of the crosswing of the western house, which features red brick infill panels. The front of this house is encased in red brick above a stucco base, with a roughcast first floor on the crosswing and a low rear extension to the north that includes a dark weatherboarded outhouse. The eastern house is stuccoed. The western house has a steep old red tile roof, while the eastern house has steep roofs covered in slate.

The two houses are two storeys tall and arranged in an L-shape, linked in echelon and facing south. The eastern house, known as Leggatts Farmhouse, has a hall range with a crosswing projecting to the rear and a small 19th-century brick wing built at the rear angle, parallel to the hall range. There are internal chimneys in both the wing and hall range. The southern front features three three-light casement windows in the hall range, with a door and two sash windows on the ground floor beneath a lean-to verandah. The gabled wing on the left has a canted bay window and casement windows on the first floor and attic.

The western house has a short hall range and a gabled crosswing extending to the rear, with a cellar beneath the eastern part of the hall range. There is a tall brick chimney at the junction of the wings and an entrance by the stack. The rear outshut is attached to the hall. The southern front includes a small two-light casement window above the door and a three-light window to the right on each floor, along with a two-light window at the southern end of the wing on each floor. There is a doorway on the western side of the wing leading to Number 2. Inside the western house, there is a winding staircase with a heavy moulded handrail.
