Description
Leaveland Court is a house dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. It is constructed with timber framing, with exposed features and infill of painted brick and plaster. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house has four framed bays and two storeys, featuring an uneven, continuous jetty that extends outward, supported by dragon posts on the porch and at the right end, and returns to the right. A hipped roof is present, with a projecting gable to the left, a gabled porch in the centre right, and a hipped wing to the right. Chimneys are located to the left, right, and at the end of the right wing. The windows are metal casements, with five on each floor. A boarded door is situated to the left of the right-hand chimney, set within a moulded four-centred arched surround in the porch, which includes a four-centred arched doorway with enriched spandrels. To the left of the main house is a 19th-century granary and stables, also timber framed and weatherboarded, with a plain tiled roof. These ancillary buildings contain three metal casements on the first floor, four on the ground floor, two boarded doors with overgrilles, and a central cart door. Inside the right-hand wing of the main house are large crown posts.
