Description

The former stables and coach house at Langholm Lodge were built in the mid-19th century, likely around the 1860s, as part of a larger estate. They are constructed from yellow brick and feature a hipped slate roof with three brick chimneystacks. The building includes stables with accommodation above on the northwest side and a coach house on the southeast side.

The exterior of the stables is two storeys tall and has five windows. It features a brick modillion cornice and plinth. The first floor has five cambered sash windows, while the ground floor has three cambered four-light windows with center lights that pivot to the stables, and a three-light window to the right. There is a simple doorcase. The coach house is a single storey, also with a modillion cornice and plinth, and a roof with two hips. It has three cambered casements on the side elevation and two large wooden coach doors at the rear.

Inside, the stables include a staircase with cast iron railings and a dado pattern of shells. The ground floor stabling features green glazed tiles along one wall, original wooden mangers, a cast iron stall partition, and an intact cast iron and wooden stall. The stable floor has sloping tiles and a drainage channel, with folding shutters on the first-floor windows. The coach house has a kingpost roof.

Historically, these stables and coach house served Buccleuch House, which was built for the Duke of Montagu between 1761 and 1763 and was originally called Richmond House. It passed to the Dukes of Buccleuch in the late 18th century. The 1851 Tithe Map shows a thin building on this site associated with Queensbury Villa, but it appears to be inaccurately shaped. By the 1862 Tithe Map, it is depicted as an ancillary building to Richmond House. Richmond Council has owned the property since 1907, and Buccleuch House itself was demolished in 1938.
