Description
The Leslie Arms Public House is a public house built around 1900 in the Arts and Crafts style. It is constructed of red brick with terracotta details and features a tiled roof with brick chimneystacks. The building is primarily two storeys high with attics and has an asymmetrical design with irregular window placements, mainly consisting of mullioned or mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights.
On the exterior, the right corner of the building features a three-storey circular tower that includes four arrowslit windows, an ovolo-moulded cornice, and a metal dome topped with a cylindrical wooden cupola and finial. An ornate wooden bracket with three decorative iron ties supports the inn sign. The next two bays to the left on the front elevation showcase a five-light dormer with leaded light mullions, fluted Ionic pilasters on either side, and an ogival copper head. The first-floor windows have mullioned and transomed designs with terracotta mouldings and panels above. To the left, there are two Dutch gables with a central decorative cast iron drainpipe featuring a rainwater head shaped like a castle, end quoins, a triple mullioned window with a central pediment on the first floor, and a four-light mullioned and transomed casement window. The extreme left bay is a single storey with attics, featuring a three-light wooden dormer with a central pediment. The ground floor retains the original continuous bar front, which includes thirteen Ionic pilasters, six mullioned and transomed multi-pane windows, six round-headed arched openings, and panelled risers. The doorcases at either end are adorned with curved pediments featuring female masks, foliage, and fluted pilasters. The right side elevation has a curved gable and a brick chimneystack with ribs descending partway down the gable. The interior has not been inspected.
