Leighton House

Leighton House is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built in the late 17th century with early 19th century and 1861 additions and alterations. It is constructed from coursed and squared ironstone with limestone dressings, featuring stone slate and Welsh slate roofs. The house has two storeys plus attics and is arranged in an L-plan with five unequal bays.

On the north side, there is a hipped addition at the return angle, which includes a gabled glazed wooden porch from 1861, complete with a large pendant lamp. To the left of the porch is a glazed lean-to corridor, and above it is a 19th century cross casement window. Further to the right is an early 19th century setback addition with a glazing bar sash window, and above it is a plain sash window.

The west front features two 19th century cross casements on each floor, and above these are two hipped dormers with two-light leaded casements. The south side has a four-bay main block with an off-centre 19th century door and overlight, along with three 6/6 sash windows. Above this, there are four plain 19th century sashes and, higher still, two flat-roofed dormers with two-light casements. To the left is an early 19th century two-storey hipped addition with a tripartite sash window and above it, a plain sash window. All the sash windows have keystoned flat arches.

On the east side, there is a full-width two-storey addition featuring three three-light leaded casements. Inside, the upper stage of the late 17th century oak stair has been remodelled in the 19th century, showcasing beaded square newels and barley sugar and wavy splat balusters, along with a Gothic main stair from 1861. The building also has chamfered spine beams with stops and a single-butt-purlin principal rafter roof.

The study in the southeast corner has restored 17th century wainscotting, while the southeast bedroom features 18th century framed and moulded panelling. The arched brick cellars contain a mid-19th century hot air central heating stove. Other rooms include three 18th century two-panel doors and two doors made from 17th century oak panelling.
