Description

Ledwell House is a substantial house, probably built in the 17th century and remodeled in the early to mid-18th century, with extensions added in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The building features banded limestone and marlstone rubble, with limestone ashlar dressings. The roofs are covered with Stonesfield slate and Welsh slate, and there are ashlar stacks.

The house has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys plus an attic. The front of the earlier section has four windows and features a doorway with a projecting ashlar doorcase to the right of center, below a three-light stone-mullioned window with a label. To the right of this, there is a recessed cross window above a large three-light window, both framed in stone architraves with angle rolls and projecting key blocks. To the left of the doorway, there is a large 20th-century bow window below additional architraved windows of one and two lights. The roof includes four gabled dormers.

An added range extends to the left, and the double-gabled right return wall has an architraved window above the main entrance, a 20th-century Venetian window, and a stone-mullioned cellar window. The rear features more architraved windows and steps leading to a basement dairy. The interior has not been inspected.
