Leyswood

Leyswood (or Leys Wood or Leyes Wood) is an architecturally notable house in Groombridge, East Sussex, that was designed by Richard Norman Shaw, and completed in 1868. It was a large mansion around a courtyard, complete with mock battlements, towers, half-timbered upper facades and tall chimneys Ã¢Â€Â“ all features quite readily associated with Tudor architecture; in Shaw's hands, this less fantastical style achieved immediate maturity.

It was substantially reduced in size in 1955 resulting in a significant change in appearance.
