Description
Langham Hall is a manor house dating from the early 18th century, likely incorporating an older core. It is constructed of red brick and has a plaintile roof. The building is two storeys high with attics and has an L-shaped layout. It features a moulded band, a brick cornice, and a parapet. The main façade includes two five-sided canted bays, each with three small-paned sash windows in flush frames on both floors, topped with flat arches. There are two dormers present.
The entrance is marked by a portico supported by three-quarter round Ionic columns, with an entablature and triangular pediment. The door consists of six raised fielded panels, a semi-circular fanlight, and flanking sidelights. This portico has been extended forward to create a flat-roofed entrance lobby, which is adorned with a balustrade made of ornate Edwardian ironwork. Above the entrance, there is a central sash window.
The garden front, facing south, features a range of five windows with small-paned sashes in flush frames, all with flat arches and external slatted shutters. On the ground floor, there are three pairs of French windows and two additional sashes, all small-paned. To the far left, there is a slightly lower section that has been added in a matching style.
Inside, the hall boasts a very fine interior with early and mid-Georgian fittings. Three rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor showcase elaborate plaster ceilings with ornate modillion cornices, including one with Chinese motifs and figures. The interior also features internal shutters with raised fielded panels, marble fireplaces with raised steel grates, and doors with eared architraves. A double archway at the rear leads to a dog-leg stair with a panelled dado, bracketed open string, and narrow turned balusters. Additionally, a later service range has been integrated into the angle of the L-shaped main house.
