Description

The Hay Storage Building at Leighton Farm is a 19th-century aisled barn featuring a vent ridge. It is constructed of brick above a random rubble basement, topped with a slate roof and has coped gables on moulded kneelers. The east gable end, which faces the farm road, includes a wide and tall round-headed doorway with stone imposts and a boarded gate set in vertical runners. On either side of the doorway are breathers arranged in lozenge patterns, and above it are three stepped round-headed windows fitted with louvres and boards. To the right of the doorway, steps lead down to the basement, which is enclosed by a coped brick wall and features a stable door.

The west gable end faces Stockyard III and is similar to the east end, but it has a blind arch in the center that contains a round-headed opening with louvres. In the basement, there are round-headed openings on the left and right, each with later boarded doors set in brick surrounds. The vent ridge on the north side has louvres, while the south side is covered with corrugated asbestos-cement sheets. The south wall also has breathers in lozenge patterns.

The ground floor is supported by timber beams and was originally designed to allow hay to be shoveled down to the basement and then taken out on the west side to Stockyard III.
