Description

Leighton House is a late 18th and early 19th century town house, now used as offices. It is constructed of squared coursed ironstone with a slate roof, following a double-depth plan. The building is three storeys high and has a five-window front. The central entrance features a six-panelled door with a large fanlight, covered by a 19th-century moulded wooden hood with a pediment and dentilled cornice. The sash windows decrease in height on the second floor, and those on the first and second floors have glazing bars, all set within rusticated stucco surrounds. Rusticated stucco quoins and a moulded stone cornice are also present, along with ashlar gable parapets and stone stacks at each end.

The rear elevation is similar, with two storeys and an eaves parapet. A large, single-storey projection from the 19th century extends to the left.

Inside, the entrance hall leads to a square lobby with a plain vaulted ceiling. The ground floor features six-panelled doors, and both ground and first-floor rooms have panelled window reveals.
