History

House belonged to Leach family from later C18 to 1936 and was probably built by Abraham Leach in 1799, when it became his residence though he did not inherit estate until 1811. The last of the family at Corston was Brigadier-General Sir Edmund Burleigh Leach (1870-1936).

Double 3-panel doors with plain fanlight and moulded wood surround. Slate-hanging to S end wall except in gable. SW rear wing with brick W stack, slate-hung section adjoining rear of main range with long narrow stair light. Big late C19 2-storey bay to left with hipped roof and small 12-pane sash above, breaking eaves. N end service wing, two-storey with similar eaves, one-window range and brick N stack.
