Description

Langlands is a house dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and weatherboarded, with a tiled roof. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with wings extending to the north and west, and the front elevation facing south. There are original external chimney stacks located to the east of the north wing and to the north of the west wing. A small lean-to extension, added in the 19th century, is situated in the angle of the wings.

The house has two storeys and includes two 20th-century casement windows and a 20th-century glazed porch on the ground floor, with three additional 20th-century casement windows above. The roof is half-hipped to the west and hipped to the east. The east elevation and part of the north elevation are weatherboarded, while the remainder is plastered. Inside, there is a central stair, and some timber framing is exposed on the first floor of the north wing, featuring straight bracing trenched to the inside of the studs, jowled storey posts, and a clasped purlin roof that is open to collar level, ceiled at wallplate level in the west wing. The building has stop-chamfered beams. Overall, it has seen little change since its original construction, although the hips of the north wing may be a later addition, and the windows have been re-fenestrated.
