Description

170 High Street in Leslie is a two-storey, four-bay tenement building dated 1763, located within an irregular terrace. The building features a chamfered bay at the far left and has been altered at the front, being converted into a single house in the 20th century. The northern and eastern elevations are constructed of squared and snecked sandstone, while the southern elevation is made of random rubble. The building has dressed ashlar margins and long and shortwork quoins.

On the northern elevation facing High Street, the bays are arranged in a 2-1-1 pattern. To the left of the centre is a boarded door with a plate glass letter-box fanlight. The door and window openings on the right have been converted into a garage. There is a window to the left with a pend opening in the chamfered angle. The first floor features regular fenestration.

The southern elevation includes a pend opening to the right at ground level with a marriage lintel above, and a window to the left. A forestair leads to a central door, with two windows in the flanking bays. The first-floor sash and case windows have a 4-pane glazing pattern, while the ground floor has a modern plate glass window. The rear features sash and case windows with an 8-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with red pantiles and has slate eaves easing courses, along with coped gablehead stacks topped with thackstanes and cans.

The boundaries include a coped whinstone rubble wall adjoining number 144, and there is a cobbled area at the front.

At the rear of the property, there are 18th-century outbuildings. One is an east-facing single-storey, irregular three-bay cottage that is harled and has a piended roof covered with pantiles and a central brick stack. This cottage features sash and case windows with a 12-pane glazing pattern, a smaller window to the far right with a 6-pane pattern, and a panelled door with a blocked letterbox fanlight. The southern elevation has been converted to a garage opening.

Another outbuilding is a two-storey, three-bay tenement facing north, which is cement rendered over random rubble, harled on the south side, and constructed of whinstone rubble on the east. It has dressed margins, with a two-leaf boarded door at the centre of the northern elevation and windows in the flanking bays. The southern elevation features a forestair leading to a central two-leaf boarded door, also with windows in the flanking bays. This building has a red pantile roof with coped skews and a truncated west stack.
