The Poultry House and the Poultry Cottage are to the east of Leighton Hall and are typical examples of Poundley and Walker’s’ ‘‘Cottage Ornee’’ and ‘‘Tudoresque’ styles. The Poultry House was built in 1861 by Naylor for his daughter Georgina, to house an extensive collection of many species of ornamental fowl. It is timber framed with a most elaborate ornamental bargeboon the central gable, and has yellow brick nogging. The adjacent house was the Poultry Keeper’s cottage. Over the windows are Tudor style dripmolds, the bargeboards to the dormers are replacements, and the ornamental terracotta chimney stacks were probably supplied by John Blashfield of Stamford. Both the Poultry House , which retains all its original were restored by the Landmark Trust in 1998-9.
