The open air Gipton Spa bath house still stands intact in Gledhow Valley Woods, towards the south east corner, and is visible from Gledhow Valley Road. A Grade 2 listed building, it was constructed in 1671 of coursed square gritstone with a slate roof. The gabled bath house has a high wall enclosing the plunge pool, which is approximately 3m square and 1.75m deep with a platform on three sides.

The bath house has an entrance at the south west end with restored quoined jambs, a circular light in the gable and moulded gable coping. A large commemorative stone plaque set in the inside wall near the entrance bears a Latin inscription informing us that it was "constructed by Edward Waddington of Gledhow in 1671".

Ice cold water from a nearby spring was conducted to the sunken bath. Also inside was a small fireplace to sweat the patients after bathing (see "Taking the Waters in Old Leeds" for more information about therapeutic bathing).
