Description

The stable block at Langley House dates from the 17th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a stone slate hipped roof. The building is single storey with an attic and is arranged in an L-shape.

The main range has a long south front that includes two gabled leaded dormers and ground floor stone mullion windows with leaded lights. The windows have either ovolo-moulded or chamfered recessed mullions. Starting from the left, there is a blocked 2-light ovolo-moulded window, followed by two 2-light chamfered windows on either side of a 2-light long-mullioned chamfered window, which has a deep hoodmould and a date plaque reading "1624 MHW MW" above it. To the right, there are two similar long-mullioned windows, but ovolo-moulded, with a 3-light chamfered window in between. There is also a 2-light chamfered window to the left and a 2-light ovolo-moulded window to the right. The dripcourse steps as a hoodmould over the left window and as a deep hood over both long windows.

The east end features a dormer and a ground floor 2-light ovolo-moulded window with a hoodmould. The rear side, facing the court, has two dormers and two doors. Attached to the east end is a range running north, which has a west front facing the court with five early 19th-century cambered-arched entries supported by ashlar piers and timber lintels. Four of these entries have boarded doors leading to the coach-house, while one provides access to a carriageway. The north end of this range is made of brick with ashlar dressings and includes a 2-light ovolo-moulded window. The rear wall has two ovolo-moulded mullion windows with hoodmoulds and one dormer above. This range features an early 19th-century kingpost roof. The main range has a double-purlin roof with tie-beam-and-collar trusses, with a 3-bay section to the west and a 5-bay section to the east, divided by a stone wall.
