Leigh Farmhouse

Leigh Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse and cottage, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of plastered granite stone rubble with granite stacks and granite ashlar chimney shafts, topped with a slate roof that was originally thatch. The building is notably wide and tall for its period and status, facing southeast with a three-room plan. The central and left rooms originally formed a two-room plan farmhouse, while the right room served as a one-room plan cottage. Each end room has a gable-end stack, and the central room features an axial stack that backs onto the former cottage. The current stairs were added in the 20th century.

The exterior has an irregular four-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. The left three-window section used to provide a symmetrical arrangement around a central doorway, which has since been blocked. The present doorway, which originally served the cottage, now features a 20th-century plank door and a contemporary flat-roofed porch supported by granite rubble columns. The roof is gable-ended.

Inside, the interior has been largely modernized in the 19th and 20th centuries, with little original carpentry detail exposed. The only visible crossbeam is in the right room, which is roughly soffit-chamfered. The fireplace in this room is made of granite rubble and has a plain oak lintel. The fireplace in the central room is similar but has lost its lintel, while the fireplace in the left room is blocked. The roof features late 17th-century A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars.
