Higher Langdon

This is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations around the 18th century and the roof raised in the 19th century. It is constructed of rendered slatestone rubble with a slate roof. A large freestone chimney stands at the right gable end, while a brick chimney is present at the left gable end. The building is one room deep and two rooms wide, with a break in the front facade suggesting that the left end was remodelled at some point. A rear outshut, formerly used as a dairy, is also present.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a four-window front. A centrally positioned porch with a hipped slate roof and 19th-century windows with marginal panes leads to the present stair hall. The main entrance door is a six-panel door with a wide middle rail. On the ground floor, to the left of the porch is a three-light casement window with glazing bars and a drip ledge; to the right of the porch are a two-light casement with glazing bars, and a three-light casement with glazing bars. Drip ledges are present on the ground floor windows to the right of the porch, extending beyond the current openings. The first floor has a sixteen-pane sash window, a two-light casement with glazing bars, and two three-light casements with glazing bars. Slate sills are present throughout, except for a freestone sill on the ground floor to the right.

A substantial fireplace is found in the ground floor room on the right, featuring chamfered granite jambs and a lintel approximately 7 feet long and 3 feet high. A recess to the right of the fireplace may mark the location of a former stair turret. The ground floor retains a slate floor. The roof was raised in the 19th century, and the timbers were renewed at that time. A single face-pegged collar remains in the roof space, marking the junction between the different building phases. Pigeon holes are visible in the right gable end.
