Description
North Leigh House is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 18th century, featuring a facade from the late 18th or early 19th century and 20th-century additions. The building may be timber framed, with the front elevation and right gable end constructed in a style known as Sussex bond. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high on a brick plinth, with a plat band and a hipped roof. There is a brick ridge stack towards the left end and a gable-end stack to the right. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four sashes in open boxes: one twenty-four pane window to the left of the stack, two to the right, and one twelve-pane window under the stack. The ground-floor windows have segmental heads. A half-glazed door is set in a 20th-century red brick porch with a hipped plain tile roof located under the stack. There is a blocked doorway towards the right end of the building. To the right, there is a short two-storey red brick parallel rear wing from the 19th century, with a roof hipped to the right and a rear lean-to attached. The building also features a Sun Insurance plaque.
The interior has only been partly inspected but likely includes re-used timber. The room to the left of the stack has a ceiling, with a cross beam located a few feet to the right of the stack. This area has plain joists between the beam and the stack, and mixed plain and hollow-chamfered joists to the right. There is a brick fireplace with a bressumer to the right side of the stack, and a fireplace from the 18th or 19th century with a high bressumer in the room at the right end.
