Description

The U-shaped former stable blocks at Leeswood Hall date from the 19th century and are constructed of red brick with some stone dressings, featuring a slate roof. The northeast range is two stories high and includes a timber bellcote with a circular clockface set in an enriched surround on the gable facing the main house. The gable has coped parapets with wide kneelers. The yard elevation displays timber insets, possibly for ornamental mouldings, beneath the eaves. There are arched brick heads above boarded loft doors, a string course, and a later outside stair leading to the center. The ground floor has a similar design with various two-light windows and a large 20th-century garage opening. Blocked ventilation slits are present towards the rebuilt southeast end. The rear elevation facing the lawn retains its original features, including ornamental oculi, ventilation slits, and a string course that steps up over a blocked arched doorway with stone jambs and a keystone.

At the northwest, a brick screen wall includes a later corrugated shed supported by iron columns and features an arched entrance for the road with double ironwork gates. The southwest gabled range has been converted into housing but retains much of its original detailing, although it now has 20th-century glazing and a Georgian-style treatment on the road elevation. The courtyard elevation has a blocked central archway that has been converted into a door, with a brick string course at first floor level and late 20th-century fenestration and doors throughout.

The stable yard features a stone-paved walkway around the buildings and a cobbled center. It is enclosed to the southeast by low brick boundary walls with some stone dressings, including quoins at the angles of a demolished rear range. A linked rubble wall extends towards the roadway along a curved angle, completing the garden enclosure.
