Description
Home Leigh is a house that has been converted into a row of cottages. It dates from the early 17th century or earlier and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of roughcast stone rubble and features an asbestos tile roof with gabled ends. There are truncated rendered axial and gable end stacks. The original plan likely consisted of three rooms with a through passage, with the lower end on the right. An axial hall stack would have backed onto the passage, while end stacks heated the inner room and lower end room. The building was later converted into three cottages.
The exterior is two storeys high and presents a long, asymmetrical range of four to five windows, featuring various 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There are three doorways with plank doors located at the left, centre, and right. At the rear, there is a small outshut. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey. Notably, in the garden immediately in front of the lower right end, there is an immense natural rock.
