Description
West Stockhouse at Leighton Farm is a long, two-storey stockhouse built of brick with a slate roof that features ten skylights. The roof has coped stone gables supported by moulded kneelers. The eastern side, which is at a higher ground level, has five full-height doorways, each accompanied by three-window ranges to the left. The doorways have stone thresholds and chamfered jambs, and are fitted with boarded doors that have recessed circular iron handles. The windows on this side have segmental heads and stone sills, with either louvres or hopper windows.
On the western side, where stock entered and waste was removed, the building has splayed angles and fifteen round-headed openings with a white-brick impost band. Below this band, the bricks are a darker red. Each opening features breathers arranged in a lozenge pattern. Some openings have boarded doors, while others have blind lower halves, creating lunette windows. This arrangement is interrupted by a doorway with a timber lintel to the left of center, which has double wooden doors, and a wide full-height opening to the left that is partly boarded. The southern gable end includes a modern lean-to.
Inside, the space is divided by brick partition walls. The roof features a king post design with raking struts, and the sliding doors are equipped with horizontal runners.
