Description
Longfield House is a late 18th-century building with early 19th-century additions. It is two storeys and has an attic. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, set on a projecting plinth. A string course runs along the first-floor level, and rusticated angle pilasters are present. A moulded cornice sits below a parapet with projecting coping, topped by a slate roof. The front façade features three windows on each floor; the first-floor windows are glazing bar sashes with four panes, moulded jambs, and voussoir heads. The ground-floor windows are similar. A central six-panel door is set within a delicate stone Doric porch with two columns, wall pilasters and an entablature enriched with a key pattern ornament, a pulvinated frieze, and a small cornice. The porch has a glazed roof and is approached by four steps. Wrought iron dog gates lead to the door. An early 19th-century extension wing projects to the left, featuring three arched windows with raised stone surrounds, key blocks, rustic quoins, and a glazed roof.
