Leeswood Hall, Grade II* listed country house in Leeswood and Pontblyddyn, Wales.

Leeswood Hall displays Neo-Classical architecture with rock-faced stone walls, two stories, cellars, and multiple bays in its main wing at 129 meters elevation point.

The current structure results from extensive remodeling completed in 1825 by Charles James Mathews, marking his only known architectural project in collaboration with A C Pugin.

The interior preserves original elements including post and panel screens, decorative fireplaces, and a wooden balustrade staircase hall crowned by a circular glazed dome.

The country house stands north of the A541 road, half a kilometer east of Pontblyddyn, with access regulated to maintain its historical preservation status.

During World War II, the hall served as a drawing office for cartographers who worked on planning the Normandy landings invasion maps.
