West Stockhouse, Leighton Farm

Long, 2-storey height stockhouse of brick with slate roof (which has 10 skylights inserted) and with coped stone gables on moulded kneelers. The feed was introduced on E side where the ground is at a higher level. This elevation has 5 full-height doorways, to the L of each of which are 3-window ranges. The doorways have stone thresholds and chamfered jambs, and have boarded doors with recessed circular iron handles. The windows have segmental heads and stone sills, and either louvres or hopper windows. On the W side the stock entered and the muck was taken out. It has splayed angles and 15 round-headed openings with white-brick impost band, beneath which the bricks are of a darker red colour. Above each opening are breathers in a lozenge pattern. Some of the openings have boarded doors, the remainder have blind lower halves, thus creating lunette windows. This sequence is interrupted by a doorway under a timber lintel to L of centre which has double wooden doors, and a wide full-height opening to L which is partly boarded. (The S gable end has a modern lean-to.)

The interior is divided by means of brick partition walls. King post roof with raking struts. The sliding doors have horizontal runners.
