Woodleigh Hall

Woodleigh Hall is a large house built between 1896 and 1898. It features a granite ashlar front facing north-east, with random rubble and ashlar dressings on the sides and rear. The roof is slate, adorned with crested ridge tiles and shaped eaves brackets. The main block is gable-ended and consists of two storeys with attics. The layout includes a central staircase plan with large rooms on either side of the ground floor. Gable-end ashlar stacks and axial stacks flanking the entrance hall provide each ground floor room with a fireplace at both ends. Behind the main block is a three-storey, flat-roofed service block.

The front of the house has seven windows with chamfered quoins. A large central doorway features an elliptical arch that contains glazed double doors topped by a large fanlight with glazing bars. The original French windows, each with three panes and a two-pane arched fanlight, are located on the ground floor and are replicated on the first floor. All windows are segmental-headed, with chamfered quoins and voussoirs that include prominent keystones. There are corbels at first floor level where a verandah is missing. Each gable end is decorated with bargeboards featuring blind arcading, a finial, and pendants at the apex and eaves level. The service block has smaller windows in a similar style and a parapet with moulded granite coping. Inside, the high rooms retain most of their original joinery, plasterwork, and fittings. It is said that the house was built for a London brewer.
