Description

Leewood is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with a mid-18th century bay added to the right, a mid-19th century rear wing, and 20th century alterations. The building is constructed of rubble and rendered, topped with an asbestos slate roof featuring a brick gable stack on the left and at the original gable end, now at the ridge. It has a two-room plan, with each room heated by a gable end stack. A one-room plan extension was added to the right end in the mid-18th century, along with a mid-19th century rear wing at the back right.

The house is one and a half storeys high with three windows, all of which are 20th century two-light casements. There are three small gables, each with a similar window. The second bay from the right features a 20th century gabled porch and a glazed door. The left end has part of a lintel from a four-centred arched granite opening set in the rubble wall at first floor level, and a single-storey 20th century addition connects the house to a single-storey outhouse with a 20th century window and door. The right end has a canted bay at ground floor with a Venetian window that includes a six-pane sash and three-pane sidelights, Gothic glazing in the central light, and pilasters between the lights. There is a similar window at first floor level, along with a 20th century single-storey addition to the right that includes a porch and door. Behind this is a two-storey rear wing with a hipped roof and two-light casements of ten panes each under the eaves, with a stack in the angle to the rear wing. The rear of the building is not accessible.

Inside, the central room features a fireplace with a cambered timber lintel, granite jambs, and a cloam oven at the rear. There are two roughly stop-chamfered cross beams and a solid wall separating the two original rooms. The room in the bay to the right has remnants of an 18th century cupboard, though the shelves have been removed.
