Higher Langdon Farmhouse

Higher Langdon Farmhouse is a house that was originally a longhouse, likely built in the 16th century but significantly altered in the 20th century. It features rendered granite rubble walls and a granite rubble axial stack with a moulded cap and dripmoulds. The roof is made of asbestos slate and has gable ends, with the roof line sloping down to the left of the axial stack.

The original layout was a longhouse plan, which included a shippon on one side of a through passage, with a hall and an inner room on the other side. The hall stack is positioned against the passage. The lower end of the house has been much altered; the shippon has been converted for domestic use, and the through passage has been widened at the lower end to accommodate a staircase. There was previously a stone stack at the higher gable end, and a 20th-century outshut has been added to the front of the lower end.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall. On the right side of the passage (the higher end) is an almost regular three-window front featuring two-light 20th-century casements with glazing bars. At the front of the passage, there is a porch or outshut that partly extends across the former shippon, topped with a slate roof and featuring a 20th-century glazed door. Towards the left end of the shippon, there is a part-glazed 20th-century stable-type door, flanked by granite-framed ventilation slits. On the first floor, there is a large late 20th-century aluminium frame window that slightly extends into the roof space, positioned left and right of centre. The rear of the house has irregular windows in small openings, with a roughly central 20th-century part-glazed rear door leading to the passage, accompanied by an inserted 20th-century window and two additional ventilation slits.

The interior has been greatly modernised in the late 20th century but still retains a dressed granite block backing to the hall stack that faces onto the passage. The hall features a large granite-framed fireplace with a hollow chamfered lintel and roughly dressed monolithic granite jambs. The oven on the left side of the fireplace retains its iron door.
