Langdon Barton

Langdon Barton is a farmhouse and integral cider house dating from the early 19th century, with a later 19th-century extension. The building is constructed from coursed chert and breccia rubble, featuring breccia dressings, and has a slate roof with gabled ends. There are breccia gable-end stacks and a lateral stack at the rear with brick shafts.

The plan consists of a long range that is one room deep, with the house above and a cider cellar and pound house below, accessible via a lower ground level at the northeast end, and an apple loft above. A later 19th-century service wing is attached to the rear of the left end.

The exterior is two storeys high with a cellar and has an asymmetrical seven-window southeast front. It features two and three-light 20th-century casements in original openings with breccia flat arches, jambs, and cills. There is a doorway to the left of centre with a 20th-century plank door and a wooden lattice porch, along with a single-light window above the doorway. The plinth has chamfered weathering. The ground at the right end is at a lower level and includes a cellar door at the front and a wide segmental arch opening to the pound house on the northeast gable end. At the rear, there is a single-storey outshut and a later 19th-century rendered wing to the right.

The interior remains intact and complete, featuring early 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors, some folded in two, one re-used early 18th-century moulded two-panel door, and a staircase with stick balusters, turned newels, and a mahogany handrail. The floors are slate. The large kitchen fireplace has a timber bressumer and pot-hangers, with benches on the side of the room. There is a mid-19th-century slate chimneypiece in the dining room, and a range and pump in lean-tos at the rear. The cellar has segmental brick vaulting, a small room on the north side, and a segmental arch doorway to the pound house at the northeast end, featuring timber ceiling beams and an apple loft above.
