Stockyard I, Leighton Farm

Consisting of a yard bounded by a brick wall on S side and with ranges housing cattle stalls on E, N and W sides, of brick with slate roofs. On the N side is a range of double pitch open to the yard and supported on timber posts; on W side is a single-storey range with vent ridge (which has glazed and louvred panels) and 6 round-headed doorways. To the E are 3 parallel ranges, of which the W range, probably built as a cart shed, is lower and has no vent ridge. These 3 ranges formed the NE corner of the farm complex when first built and consequently their N facade is designed to impress: Each range has coped stone gables on moulded kneelers. The central and E ranges, built as cow houses, have round-headed openings with louvres above round-headed doorways with stone imposts, wooden fanlights and boarded gates. In the W range is an infilled bullseye window over a blind arch within which is a round-headed window. The vent ridges have mainly panels with louvres, but also partly glazed. The S gables have blind round-headed windows at the upper level, 2 blind doorways beside the valley between the E and central wing, with wide doorways under timber lintels beside them. (The S gable of the W range is rebuilt.) The stockyard is laid with concrete.

King-post roofs with raking struts. The N range retains its cattle stalls.
