Description
Leckerstone Farm is an earlier 19th-century farmstead, with later additions. It comprises two parallel, two-storey ranges, a circular horse mill to the northwest, and a detached shed to the northeast. The buildings are constructed from irregular coursed rubble, with some harling. Droved quoins and ashlar surrounds feature around openings, while the shed to the northeast is of irregular rubble and snecked stone, with random rubble and harling to the horse mill.
The south range originally housed byres with a loft above. The southeast elevation features a door to the right, a first-floor door to the left, and a first-floor window to the left. A single-story shed adjoins the gable wall. The northeast elevation shows a blocked-up door to the far left, flanked to the right by a window (formerly a door). There is a door to the right, a window (formerly a larger opening) to the right, a recessed trough, a door, a window (formerly a door) to the far right, and three first-floor windows. The northwest elevation displays a window to the left, a door to the right, a first-floor hoist door breaking the eaves above the ground floor door, and a first-floor window to the left. The southwest elevation has a central ground floor window (formerly a door), a first floor window above it to the right, three first-floor windows to the right, and a ground floor door to the far right with a window to its right flank.
The north range originally contained cattle sheds with a loft, a cartshed, and the horse mill. The southeast elevation includes a blocked-up doorway and a rounded quoin to the southeast. The far-right shed features a window to the left, a cartshed entrance open to the eaves to the right of the main range, three windows, a door, two further windows to the far left, and two gantry doors that break the eaves.
The horse engine house is a circular gin house with replacement plank doors and brick infill in the openings, and retains its timber roof structure. A gin house is attached to the wall of a former building to the east.
The shed, to the northeast, is a detached, single-story structure. The southwest elevation shows two large openings to the right with sliding doors, one to the left, and a window to the inner left. A central window is present on the southeast elevation. The northeast and northwest elevations are not visible, and the northwest elevation is a plan gable.
Some windows have fixed upper glass panes and lower timber ventilation slats; plain plank doors are used throughout. The roofs are piended, originally covered with red clay pantiles. Slate-piended dormers are located above the gantry doors on the north range. The horse mill has a five-sided conical roof covered with red clay pantiles. The shed to the northeast has corrugated sheet doors and a piended roof covered with red clay pantiles coated black.
