Description
Nos. 26 and 28 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. 22 and 24 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 fishscale tile-hanging and half-timbering with whitewashed rendered infill. The roof is tiled, displaying some fishscale patterning, and there are brick chimneys with pilasters.
The cottages are two storeys high, with two asymmetrical bays on each front. The bays on the northwest side are gabled, with the left gable being larger and projecting. It has a jettied first floor and three-light barred wooden casements, with the upper casement set in an oriel with a coved base and a lean-to tiled roof. There is a blocked door in the right return wall, which has a small tiled hood supported by brackets. The right bay features similar casements, with a two-light arrangement on the ground floor and a single light above. The right side wall includes a lean-to porch with heavy turned wooden balusters, a hipped dormer above, and a gabled bay to the right.
