Langton Grove

Langton Grove is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with remodels in the early 19th and 20th centuries. It features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame with a brick skin and has machine tile roofs. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a north-south wing and an east-west wing.

The exterior is two storeys high with attics. The south front has a two-window range and is covered in early 19th century gault brick. It includes a rendered single-storey central porch with a crenellated parapet and a four-panelled door, flanked by paired pilasters at the corners. The ground floor has a glazed verandah supported by timber posts. To the left of the porch is a four-light casement window, and to the right, there is a pair of two-light casements. The first floor features two four-light casements with hoods on label stops, and there is a storing course and crenellated parapet above. The roof is gabled.

The north-south wing has a stepped gable-end on the left and a three-light attic casement with a similar hood-mould. The east gable is made of early 17th century brick laid in English bond on a brick plinth, with two blocked two-light mullioned windows at attic level, featuring chamfered jambs and a central mullion. The internal gable-end stack has a square plinth supporting twin rebuilt octagonal flues. The north side of this gable is finished in brick and has a three-light hollow-moulded mullioned window on each floor.

The rear wing is two storeys high with a dormer attic and includes two 19th century outshuts at the angle between the wings. The fenestration is varied, with 19th century metal casements in two and three-light configurations at intervals. The roof is gabled and has one gabled dormer.

Inside, there are boxed bridging beams, and the north fireplace has been rebuilt. The timber frame of the east-west wing features jowled principal posts and chamfered bridging beams. The north-east first-floor room contains an early 17th century eight-panelled cupboard door, and the south wall has a blocked three-light hollow-moulded mullioned window.
