Langford Place With Attached Outbuildings

Langford Place is an early 19th-century house with attached outbuildings, situated on Langford Road in Heybridge, Maldon. The house is constructed of painted red brick with a hipped slate roof, featuring a gable over the entrance. It has two symmetrically placed ridgeline brick stacks and single-storey attached wings.

The two-storey house includes a cellar. The symmetrical three-bay front has a projecting centre forming a porch, with an upper section serving as a stairwell. The recessed parts have small-paned horizontally-sliding casement windows above 12-pane sash windows; all openings have segmental heads. The projecting centre features a similar casement window above a low-pitched, gabled open porch with small-pane flanks. The porch has reeded pilasters and a door consisting of six panes over two flush panels.

The east elevation has one 16-pane sash window and a lean-to bay-like projection, previously a porch, with 20th-century sash windows. A 20th-century extension with a matching slate hipped roof and long slate lean-to pentice, supported by painted timber brackets, is present on the west elevation. The garden (south) elevation has three small-paned sash windows above two canted 20th-century bay windows with margin-glazed sashes and hipped slate roofs, alongside an original central small-paned sash. Curved service blocks flank the house, creating convex abutments with lean-to sloping slate roofs, small rectangular small-paned windows, and a short stack on the west block. The north, concave, curved faces have simple door and window openings.

The interior is largely original, featuring a cantilevered dogleg staircase with a wreathed handrail, shaped tread ends, and stick balusters. Interior walls in the entrance hall have curved corners, and all doors have richly moulded architraves. Cornices are present in the east and central ground-floor rooms; the former includes a marble fireplace. The central garden-front windows have vertical-sliding internal shutters. A two-light casement window provides borrowed light between the stairwell and the first-floor corridor and contains original glass.
