Description
Leigh Cottage is a former bakery that has been converted into a detached house, dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from random rubble limestone with dressed quoins, featuring a blue brick chimney and a plain tile roof. The building is single-storey with an attic and has a long plan with a gable end chimney located at the back.
The front gable has an off-centre doorway with a plank door, and to the left, there is a timber casement, both situated under a large timber lintel that was part of the former shop front. Above the lintel, there is a stone drip mould, and a single timber casement window is present in the attic. The sides of the building show scattered fenestration, mostly consisting of timber casements with timber lintels, and there is one window in the south wall featuring a small-paned horizontal sliding sash. The north wall projects and has a catslide roof above it.
Leigh Cottage is included for its group value, as it completes the tight grouping of buildings around the ford at Duntisbourne Leer.
