Description
Langdale Hall, now a hall of residence, is a villa built in the later 19th century that has been altered and slightly enlarged. It features coursed dressed sandstone and a fishscale slate roof. The building has a double-pile plan and is designed in the Gothic style, standing two storeys high with an attic and three bays. The entrance bay is narrow and positioned between two projecting gabled outer bays, with a window arrangement of 1:1:2 on the first floor. Notable architectural elements include a plinth, bracketed eaves, and barge-boarded gables, with the left gable being carved and the right one replaced with plain boards, both topped with finials.
The central entrance has an open porch with a segmental-pointed arch, moulded jambs, narrow sidelights featuring ogee tracery, and a brattished parapet adorned with blind trefoils. Above the porch is a cross-window. The projecting gables showcase large canted mullion-and-transom bay windows with brattished parapets; the left gable contains a six-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor, complete with a hoodmould and a small blank shield above it with an arched hoodmould. The right gable features two cross-windows on the first floor, linked by hoodmoulds, along with a two-light mullioned attic window.
The left return wall has an added conservatory, while the right return wall includes a single-storey stone bay with canted corners, mullioned windows, and a brattished parapet, beyond which a gabled wing projects. Attached at a right angle to the rear corner is the former coach house, which is one-and-a-half storeys tall and has a segmental-pointed entrance beneath a 20th-century canopy, a small gable dormer above, and a steeply-pitched fishscale slate roof.
