Langton Lodge

Langton Lodge is a former lodge, dating to circa 1864, designed by G. Devey as part of Ashurst Park. Later extensions were added in the early 20th century and circa 1988. The front of the lodge is constructed of coursed sandstone ashlar, while the rear is of random rubble. The gables are timber-framed, and there are brick stacks with panelled brick chimneyshafts, topped with a peg-tile roof. Additions are in stone, brick, and timber framing.

The lodge faces northeast, overlooking the drive to Ashurst Park, now known as Fernchase Manor. The original layout comprised a small, three-room house with an axial stack between the centre and right rooms. The room on the left is smaller and slightly set back. The original front door was located in the recess of the front, but this doorway is now blocked, and access is via a 20th-century extension on the right end.

The original lodge is a single storey, while the extensions to the right are two storeys in height.

The front facade has an irregular two-window arrangement with timber-framed windows featuring chamfered mouldings and diamond panes of leaded glass. The central bay has a transomed window and an oriel under a small gable covered in peg tiles. A smaller window to the right is located under a crossroof, with decorative timber framing. The recessed left bay is blank at the front. The eaves extend over a porch supported by rustic posts with irregular branch brackets. A former doorway in the angle has been blocked and replaced with an arch-headed window. The left gable end (south eastern) incorporates another oriel, supported by shaped timber brackets. A jettied gable above is filled with ornamental timber framing, featuring the monogram GF. The rear wall has a projecting, semi-circular stair turret. The roof is gable-ended, stepping down to the narrower south eastern bay, and includes a gabled crossroof at the other end. Local reports suggest that some of the Ashurst Park lodges were originally thatched.
