Old Farmhouse At Langton Hall With Barn, Stables And Outbuildings

The Old Farmhouse at Langton Hall, along with its barn, stables, and outbuildings, dates back to around 1700, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick and features plain tile and slate roofs, all with brick coped gables and kneelers. The farmhouse has a 20th-century plain tile roof and a gable stack, with a 19th-century blue brick plinth and a first-floor band.

The east front of the farmhouse is two storeys high and has four bays. There is an off-centre doorway with a cambered arch and keystone, leading to a 19th-century, three-panel door. To the left of the doorway, there is a single cross window with an overlight, and two similar windows, all from the 19th century, featuring cambered arches and keystones. Above these, there are four 19th-century, two-light casements.

Attached to the left is a single-storey, single-bay brick wing with a 20th-century plain tile roof, which has a stack and a single 19th-century, three-light casement with a cambered arch. A jowled timber post at the junction with the farmhouse suggests the remains of an earlier timber-framed building. To the right of the farmhouse is a single-storey outbuilding.

At the rear of the farmhouse, there is a brick barn and stable range. The stable, which has a slate roof, was largely rebuilt in the late 19th century and features an off-centre doorway with a plank door. Above this is a similar loft doorway, and a two-bay stable adjoins to the left, with a 20th-century plain tile roof and two doorways with stable doors. There is also an attached outshut with a Swithland slate roof and some rubblestone in the walling at the rear of the range.

Inside the farmhouse, there is a wooden panelled lobby and some panelling in the room to the left, which features a chamfered main beam with run-out stops. The fireplace has a flat beam mantel, and there is a dog-leg staircase with splat balusters. The first-floor room to the left has a large smoke hood. The attached wing to the left has an exposed main beam and joints. Above the stables, the granary features an early 18th-century central upper crucck truss, which supports a ridgepiece and side purlins.
