Leesden House

Leesden House is an 18th-century house located on the east side of Yalding High Street. The ground floor features red brick in stretcher bond with exposed studding to the left of the door, while the right side is constructed in red brick in Flemish bond. The first floor is plastered, and the house has a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys tall with attics, showcasing a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The roof is gabled to the left and half-hipped to the right, with a brick gable end stack on both sides. There are two two-light corniced hipped-roofed dormers and an irregular arrangement of two three-light casements. The door, located to the right of centre, consists of four flush panels and two top lights. A broad but shallow Doric porch with a corniced lean-to plain-tile roof is also present, as seen in an early 20th-century photograph. At the rear, there is a tile-hung central wing or stair turret with a hipped roof, a rear lean-to, and a single-storey brick addition to the left, angled away from the road. The interior has not been inspected.
