Longwitton Hall

Longwitton Hall is a house with a complex history, incorporating a west wing likely dating from the early 18th century, altered in the late 18th century, a south-east block constructed around 1840, and later 19th-century extensions. It is built of squared stone with dressings; the south-east block is of tooled-and-margined stone with ashlar dressings, all set beneath slate roofs. The building now forms an L-shape with further additions.

The west front, facing the courtyard, is two storeys and eight bays, with an irregular facade. A six-panel door is located in the fifth bay, and a boarded door with a chamfered surround sits in the first bay. The windows are mostly sash windows, with varied fenestration. The ground-floor window in the third bay is a tripartite sash within a raised and chamfered stone surround, set in an earlier opening with a flat-arched lintel. The seventh and eighth bays are slightly taller and feature blind windows. The roof is hipped, with three stepped ridge stacks. The right return, looking towards the garden, has three bays; the left bay marks the end of the west wing, displaying a plinth, sill bands, and a full-height canted bay with 12-pane sashes in chamfered surrounds and a top cornice. The south-east block has a plinth, a first-floor band, angle pilasters, and eaves cornices resting on block corbels. It has sash windows, some renewed, in raised chamfered surrounds.

Internally, the west wing contains two 18th-century fireplaces, one of Gothick style. There are also two re-set mid-18th century Rococo carved wooden chimney pieces, reportedly brought from Wallington Hall. Decorative plaster ceilings date from around 1900. The cellar beneath the west wing has a staircase constructed from sills and lintels from 17th-century single-light windows.

The house occupies a medieval site, the south-east block likely replacing earlier medieval structures.
