Description
South Leigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century, with possible additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It was remodeled in the mid to late 20th century. The building is constructed from stone rubble and cob, and is almost entirely covered in cement render. It has a 20th-century asbestos-slate roof that was formerly thatched, and the roof is hipped to the left. There are brick stacks present.
The farmhouse is probably designed with a three-room and cross-passage layout, facing south, with the ground falling to the left. It likely includes a hall with an axial stack that backs onto the cross-passage, a former service area to the left with an external lateral stack at the rear, and a former inner room to the right with an end stack. There is probably a late 18th-century one-room addition at the left end and a 19th-century short addition that projects at right angles in front of the right end.
The building has two storeys and features an asymmetrical arrangement of windows on the front. There are four windows on the first floor and five on the ground floor, all of which are mid to late 20th-century wooden casements, mostly with two lights. A 19th-century gabled stone porch is located between the second and third windows from the right, featuring a small casement on the front and an entrance on the right side. The left-hand return of the right wing has a first-floor 20th-century two-light wooden casement and a ground-floor boarded door. The interior was not inspected due to denied access.
