Description
Leslie is a splay-plan villa designed by Leslie Graham Thomson in 1931. It features a two-storey semi-hexagonal entrance tower and has a painted textured finish to the brickwork, with a garden terrace to the south.
On the north elevation, the central semi-hexagonal entrance tower is positioned at the external angle and includes a shouldered entrance arch with a single window above it. There is a painted panel between the arch and the window. On the left return, there are single windows on both floors, while a single-storey range attached to the ground floor of the right return has a round-arched window and a single window above. To the right of the entrance tower is a two-bay range, with a single-storey range in the left bay and a single window above it, along with another single window at ground level in the left bay. To the left of the entrance tower is a three-bay range, which includes a single-storey porch in the right bay with a door on the right return, a single window to the right, and a large round-arched window above the porch. There are also windows in the central bay at both ground and first floors, two windows in the left bay at ground level, a single window above, and a single window on the right return. A single-storey range extends to the east.
On the south elevation, there are three round-headed arched windows in a loggia located in the re-entrant angle, with six windows above. Both wings have two single windows with shutters at ground level and single square-proportioned windows with shutters above.
The villa features multi-pane casement windows. The roof is constructed from granolithic hollow reinforced concrete tubes, which are further clad with a platform roof of bitumen and a pent-roof of interlocking blue-black pantiles.
