Netherliegh

Netherleigh is a house dating from around 1850, located on Hayle St Georges Road. The building features stuccoed walls and a hipped roof made of grouted scantle slate, with projecting eaves. Rendered brick chimneys rise from the side walls. The layout includes a double depth plan with two equally sized reception rooms at the garden front. An entrance hall is situated behind the right-hand room, leading to a stair hall, with another reception room or former study behind the entrance hall, and likely a kitchen at the rear left. There have been extensions made to the rear and left-hand side in the 20th century.

The house is two stories tall, with a rusticated stucco plinth and quoin strips at the corners, along with moulded cornices beneath the wide eaves soffits. The symmetrical north garden front has three windows and a central half-domed niche with a moulded architrave. The ground floor window openings on the left and right feature flanking pilasters that support hoods on consoles, while the first-floor openings have moulded architraves. The original 12-pane hornless sash windows are present on both the garden front and the entrance front.

The west entrance front has three windows, with a doorway to the right of the middle window and another window above it. There is an additional window to the right of the doorway and another window on the first floor to the left. The entrance features an original four-panel door with an overlight that has marginal panes. In front of the doorway is a conservatory, likely built in the later 19th century, with fixed lights that have marginal panes, supported by consoles over pilaster mullions and topped with an eaves cornice and cast-iron cresting. The door on the left side of the conservatory has coloured marginal panes and a similarly detailed overlight.

Inside, the house retains much of its original architectural detail, including the stairs, panelled doors, window shutters, and plaster ceiling cornices.
