Langholme

Langholme is a villa, dating from approximately 1840 to 1850, and later converted into flats around 1970. It may have been designed by Samuel W Daukes. The construction includes an ashlar basement, with the rest of the building rendered in stucco over brickwork, topped by a hipped slate roof and featuring iron balconies.

The villa is two storeys with attics and a basement, and has three windows on the first floor. A gabled breakforward is present on the left side. Horizontal bands mark the first and second floors, with wide eaves supported by brackets. The breakforward incorporates triple round-arched windows on the ground and first floors, featuring 1/1 sashes, chamfered mullions, and imposts. The first floor has 2/2 sashes, while the ground floor has tall 1/1 sashes, accented by floating cornices on console brackets. Casement windows are present in the attic and basement. A 20th-century glazed door with a fanlight provides access to the rear, contained within a tooled surround.

The rear elevation has four first-floor windows, all with tooled architraves; one ground-floor window is tripartite, with a 4/4 sash between two 2/2 sashes, while the remaining windows have 6/6 sashes. The interior has not been inspected.

Original features include two ground-floor balconies at the rear, decorated with a scroll motif. Langholme was a prestigious villa built on the edge of The Park development, where Daukes served as the architect for several other villas.
