Place & story
Beyond the house front
The architectural inventory dates Leny Cottage to about 1820. The two-storey house has a partly hipped slate roof and timber sash windows. Behind it, two-storey rubble-stone ranges enclose a courtyard. One range contains a segmental carriage arch with round, brick-framed openings above it. Wrought-iron gates and stone gateposts mark the yard entrance, while a separate boundary wall has battlement-like coping. The survey records these working buildings as part of the house’s architectural setting. [2]
