Description

Leytonstone House is a substantial building, likely dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of yellow brick and features a low hipped slate roof with a parapet. The house has three storeys and is five windows wide, with two-storey wings on each side. A projecting Doric porch adds to its architectural interest. The windows are square-headed with gauged heads, and the ground floor windows in the recessed wings are set within semicircular reveals. The house also has 20th-century plate glass casements and a cornice above the second floor. Inside, there is a turned baluster staircase, a Serlian window at the half landing, and a pilastered apsidal landing on the first floor. Leytonstone House was the residence of Sir Edward North Buxton, a friend of William Wilberforce.

Local climate

Leytonstone House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
