Langham Lodge

Langham Lodge is a large farmhouse, likely originating from the 17th century, which has been added to and extended over time. In 1936, it was refenestrated using windows sourced from Exton Old Hall. The building features coursed rubble with angle quoins and a stone-tiled roof. The front elevation is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a central two-storey projecting porch, also relocated from Exton. This porch has double doors set in a four-centred arch with ovolo moulded hoodmoulds, and above it is a three-light mullioned window, along with a sundial in the gable. Flanking the door are four-light ovolo moulded mullioned windows with hoodmoulds on both floors, and at the first-floor level, the heads of former sash windows are visible as freestones. There are three tile-hung hipped dormers above and stone gable-end stacks. The house likely started as a T-plan, but the stem of the T at the rear has been extended and features an outshut, which now contains additional 17th-century mullioned windows from Exton. Inside, the layout includes a large hall with a stone fireplace, a series of fine 17th-century carved oak doors and doorcases, and a staircase that was taken from Beaudesert House in North Wales, which is now demolished.
