Description

Mildons Leigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse that possibly dates from the 16th century or early 17th century, but it was largely rebuilt in the late 17th to early 18th century and renovated in 1985. The building is constructed of plastered cob on exposed rubble footings, with cob or stone rubble stacks topped by 19th-century brick chimney shafts, and has a thatched roof.

The farmhouse features a three-room plan and faces south. The left (west) room has a rear corner stack, the central room includes a large rear projecting lateral stack with an oven projection, and the right (east) room has a projecting end stack that serves the kitchen fireplace and also has an oven projection. There is a 20th-century outshot on the right end, and the building is two storeys high.

The front elevation has a vaguely balanced arrangement of six windows, which are late 19th-century and 20th-century replacement casements with glazing bars. There are 20th-century doors to the right and left of the centre. The rubble is exposed up to the first floor level. The roof is gable-ended on the right and hipped on the left. The rear elevation is partly exposed, and the left room stack is visible as an insertion. There is no clear evidence of a rear doorway that would indicate a through passage.

Inside, the interior mainly reflects the results of 19th-century and 20th-century modernisations. All beams are boxed in, and the fireplaces have been blocked by 20th-century grates. The roof dates from the late 17th to early 18th century and features A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars.
