Langston Farmhouse

Langston Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse constructed of rubble, with some areas rendered and scribed, and a slate roof. It is a large L-plan house featuring a hipped front block and a gabled back wing. The windows are all 16-pane sashes set in moulded surrounds with slightly cambered heads and splayed cambered near-flush 'arches'; while some have horns, most are original and include early glass. The building has two storeys, with the main front consisting of two windows. To the right, there is a 9-panel flush door with a Y-bar fanlight, set in deep reveals and topped with a hood supported by reeded pilasters. Adjacent to this is a single-storey wing, which is not of special interest. The farmhouse has quoined ends, a continuous cornice with decorative consoles, and a large brick stack at the center. The left return to the north features two windows and a long vertical blocked stair opening in a moulded surround at the center. The wing, set back from the front block, has three windows, with a tripartite sash in the center of the ground floor and an inserted glazed door in the internal angle. The return of the main block has a blank painted window at the first floor, while the gable of the wing is blank but has a 20th-century door in a hipped porch. Although the interior was not inspected, the front block has shutters on the ground floor windows. Overall, it is a very complete and handsome ensemble.
