Leach House, Attached Cottage And Outbuilding

Leach House, along with an attached cottage and outbuilding, is a building that dates from the early 19th century and was formerly an inn. It is constructed from regularly coursed gritstone with quoins and features a single coped gable at the north-west end, complete with moulded kneelers and ashlar ridge stacks at both the intermediate and end points. The roof is stone slated.

The building has an irregular plan, with an advanced gabled bay at the north-west end and a two-bay cottage positioned at a different angle to the main structure. The house itself is two storeys high and consists of three bays, featuring glazing bar sashes set in flush stone frames. The central doorway has a massive surround and a four-panelled door, with the upper two panels being glazed.

The cottage section is also two storeys and has two bays. One bay includes a quoined doorway with a four-panelled door, while the other bay features a quoined double doorway topped with a massive wide lintel and plain planked doors. The first floor has glazing bar sashes in flush surrounds.

The outbuilding is two storeys and consists of a single bay, with a quoined doorway on the north-west elevation that has a shallow lintel and a glazing bar sash above. The gable includes a single stone-framed opening on the ground floor and a taking-in doorway on the first floor, both fitted with boarded shutters.
