The Old Tannery

This is a former tannery, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. It was converted into a house in 1957 and extended at a later date. The building is constructed of squared rubble stone with a stone slate roof and coped gables. Built into a hillside, it has three storeys and an attic to the east gable end. The east end features a segmental arched opening on the ground floor, a rectangular opening above that, a segmental arched opening on the second floor with a later added balcony supported by consoles, and a narrower segmental arched window in the attic. All of these openings have metal glazing installed in 1957. The south side has two segmental arched ground floor openings, two first-floor casements, and a row of four upper windows, potentially originally louvred. The north side has an ashlar stack. A 1957 addition to the west end is not considered to be of particular architectural interest. The tannery was part of a larger complex associated with Turleigh House and Turleigh Mill.
