Leigh Park Mansion Terrace

Leigh Park Mansion Terrace is a garden terrace built in the mid-19th century. It was constructed on the west side of a large mid-Victorian house that no longer exists and overlooks a grassy slope leading down to a lake with an island. The terrace is a level area with a low parapet wall, supported by a passageway built into the hillside. This passageway consists of 14 bays of quadripartite brick vaulting and features an inner brick wall, while the outer face is formed by pointed arches and intermediate buttresses.

The two central bays are concealed by a staircase with 13 steps that turns at a landing to create two flights of seven steps. The low brick wall at the front of the terrace also serves as flanking walls for the stairways, featuring a moulded stone coping and band. At the landing, the front wall is pierced by ten small arches. The flank walls of the staircase end in detached shafts. All architectural details are in Gothic style, showcasing stone features and red brick walls laid in English bond.
