Old stable and coachhouse buildings at Langold

The Old stable and coachhouse buildings at Langold are a Grade II* listed structure, dating from the mid-18th century, likely designed by Ralph Knight for his estate. The buildings are constructed from thinly-coursed, squared limestone and feature a Westmorland slate roof. They are arranged in a U-shaped courtyard plan that is open to the south and designed in a classical style, with two storeys.

The main east facade consists of five bays, with the end and central bays projecting slightly. It has a plinth and a central bay that features a pedimented portico with rusticated quoins and a continuous impost band leading to a tall round arch with a keystone. The outer bays have round-arched panels with ashlar surrounds, and the square windows beneath each arch include casements with glazing bars in bays one and two, while bays four and five are boarded. The eaves cornice adorns the hipped roof, and 20th-century brick stacks are located on either side of bay two. The rear of this section also has a matching pedimented portico with a Diocletian window in the tympanum. The left return of this part features two infilled round arches that originally led to carriage houses, which are now part of a dwelling.

The rear range elevation is divided into a pattern of 1:2:3:2 bays, with a link block concealing the right end bay. The pedimented three-bay section aligns with the front arch and includes a door with a consoled cornice in a round-arched panel, flanked by doorways, one of which is walled-up. There are three square windows on the first floor and a blocked Diocletian window in the tympanum. The left return features two rebated, round-arched carriage-house entrances. The south elevation of the link block has a round-arched waggon entrance to the pedimented central part and cruciform slit vents to the right and on the first floor.

These buildings are notable remnants of Ralph Knight's ambitious plans for Langold, which were left incomplete following his death in 1768. The attached farm buildings of a later date are not of special interest.
