Description
Leckerstone Farmhouse is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey farmhouse that has undergone later alterations. The exterior is harled and cream in color, featuring painted ashlar surrounds around the openings, an eaves course, and vertical margins at the quoins. The roof is swept.
On the southwest elevation, the original house has three bays with a central door and a flat-roofed porch. There is a window to the southwest and a door in the right return. To the right of the door, there is a ground floor window, and to the left, a canted bay window. Above, there are three first-floor windows centered above the ground floor. A section set back to the right has a central ground floor window and two first-floor windows. To the left, there is a single-storey section with a central window.
The northwest elevation features a window in the single-storey section. The wall extends from the northwest quoin to an adjacent barn, which is not part of the statutory list. This wall is harled and has curved coping stones, a doorway, and a metal gate.
On the northeast elevation, the two-storey house has a ground floor window to the right and an advanced section to the left with a first-floor window. An advanced two-storey rear wing is located at the far left, featuring two ground floor windows and a single first-floor window in the right return.
The southeast elevation has an advanced section to the left with a replacement ground floor window in the southeast wall and in the right return. A section set back to the right has a replacement door to the left and a window to the right, along with two first-floor windows.
The farmhouse predominantly features horizontal 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is swept and piended with a wide overhang at the eaves, covered with replacement pantiles. There is a gable apex stack to the far left and another gable apex stack to the far right of the original three-bay house, which is now a ridge stack. The rear wing has a half-piend roof.
The interior was not seen in 2000.
A rubble wall lines the left of the entrance drive, with dressed coping stones curving towards the house. There are plain square gatepiers topped with low pyramidal coping stones and a replacement metal gate.
