Description
Leck Hall is a house built in 1811 by John Webb. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a hipped slate roof. The south front presents a symmetrical design with two storeys and five bays, including a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and a cornice with a blocking course. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have plain ashlar reveals, with the left-hand bay being blind. The central first-floor window is tripartite, with the outer lights also being blind. The tetrastyle Ionic porch has half columns as responds, and the doorway is flanked by lights that feature sashes with glazing bars. There are chimneys on the ridge.
The west facade displays similar architectural details and includes a central two-storey canted section flanked by two bays on each side. Inside, the house features moulded cornices, mahogany doors, and some marble fireplaces. The cantilevered staircase has stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, while a separate open well includes a balustraded first-floor landing and an oval dome with a skylight.
