Leckford Abbas

Leckford Abbas is a medium-sized country house built in 1900 by Sir Bannister Fletcher. It features rendered brick and Bath stone with an old plain tile roof. The building is a double pile, two-storey structure with an attic, consisting of seven bays arranged in three sections with separate lines of front wall and roofs, set on a levelled plateau on the hillside.

The entrance front has a hill to the left and includes a large single-storey billiards hall that projects forward from the left bays. The right three bays also project forward, featuring a central Ionic porch with pairs of columns at each end and an entablature above. Below the porch are double doors in an Art Nouveau style, flanked by windows. To the right of the porch is a panel with a niche, an entablature above, and an Ionic pilaster. Above the porch is a seven-light mullioned and transom window.

Each side of the building has gabled bays with a three-light show window on the ground floor, a three-light window on the first floor, and a light in a Dutch gable. There is a three-light flat roof dormer in the centre, with ridge stacks on either side featuring modillioned heads. The two left bays contain the billiards room, which projects forward and has a canted bay on its right side with a five-light mullioned and transomed window, topped with a copper dome and round-headed dormers all around, along with a vent cupola. The first floor of the main part has casement windows, and the roof is hipped to the left with a stack to the right. The interior remains largely as it was originally built.
