Description
Nos. 22 and 24 Leighton Road are a pair of cottages built as lodge cottages for Wingrave Manor House, now known as Mount Tabor House. They are symmetrical to Nos. 26 and 28 and are dated 1876 on a terracotta plaque. The cottages are designed in a picturesque style influenced by the work of George Devey. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, while the first floor features half-timbering with whitewashed render infill and fishscale tile-hanging. The roofs are tiled, displaying some fishscale patterning, and there are brick chimneys with pilasters.
The cottages are two storeys high, each with two asymmetrical bays at the front. The two bays on the northwest side are gabled, with the right gable being larger and projecting, featuring a jettied first floor and an overhanging upper part of the gable. This bay includes three-light wooden casements, with the first-floor window set in an oriel with a coved base. There is a small tiled hood on brackets above a blocked doorway in the left return wall. The left bay has a two-light casement on the ground floor and a single light above. The left side of the building has a lean-to porch with heavy turned wooden balusters, a hipped dormer above, and a gabled bay to the left.
