Leigh House, Grade II* listed building in Winsham, England.
Leigh House features local lias stone ashlar walls with Ham stone dressings and presents an E-shaped design with two stories and attic spaces.
The Henley family constructed Leigh House between 1590 and 1617 on land previously belonging to the Forde Abbey estate, with modifications made in 1893.
The building demonstrates the architectural preferences of wealthy English families during the early 17th century through its layout and construction materials.
The structure now contains four separate residential units, maintaining its original external features while adapting to modern living requirements.
The house displays distinctive rainwater stockheads dated 1617 and retains early 17th-century paneling in the southeast corner room.
