Description
Leonard Stanley House is a former mill owner's residence, now divided into three houses, built around 1800 with a significant addition around 1830. The building features limestone ashlar, coursed rubble, roughcast render, and Flemish bond red brick, with ashlar and brick chimneys and a replacement concrete tile roof. It is two-storey with an attic and three-storey at the rear, following a double pile plan. Attached to the north side is the former mill manager's house, known as Splash Cottage.
The east front has a symmetrical arrangement of windows with a 2:1:2 fenestration pattern, featuring 12-pane sash windows in plain openings, with the ground floor windows being taller. A central break forward includes a pediment and a doorway with moulded architraves, a cornice, and a plain frieze, leading to a fielded panelled and glazed door. The building has a moulded cornice and a blocking course.
On the west front, there are five windows in a brick elevation, with 12-pane sashes on the ground and middle floors and 6-pane sashes on the upper floor, all framed by plain ashlar architraves. The façade features alternating quoins and a plain band at the upper floor level. The central doorway has plain architraves and a cornice, leading to small-paned glazed doors. The middle floor has glazed doors that provide access to a fine Regency iron balcony supported by slender Ionic columns. The building is topped with a plain parapet that has a stone band and coping, and there are four ridge-mounted brick chimneys.
The south side has two rendered gables, with a central pointed timber casement on the middle and upper floors, and a single light with a chamfered surround and iron casement to the right of each. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey addition, and a brick screen wall to the left features a crenellated top and a gothic doorway. The interior has not been inspected. Leonard Stanley House is part of a group with Splash Cottage and the mill workshop.
