Langmead Farmhouse, Including Outbuilding Immediately North West Of House

Langmead Farmhouse, including the outbuilding immediately north-west of the house, is a late 16th or early 17th century farmhouse with later additions. The central portion of the original house was demolished, and the north-west end was converted into an outbuilding with a farm storage loft above. The main part of the house is built of cob with some stone, and is roughcast externally, with a slate roof and clay ridge tiles. A large projecting chimneystack sits at the north corner. Another, very wide chimneystack in the north-west gable of the outbuilding may incorporate an original oven; it lacks a shaft and has not been capped. A smaller, probably 19th or 20th century, chimneystack is on the south-west roof slope of the domestic section, with a yellow brick stack of similar date on the adjacent courtyard wall.

The original house appears to have been a single-range building long enough to contain three main ground-floor rooms. Both end rooms likely had fireplaces by the 17th century. The north-west room, featuring architectural details suitable for a parlour, has a fireplace with an oven at the back, which may have always been present. The house has two storeys, with a single-storey lean-to on the south-west side. The south-west front, facing the farmyard, shows the remnant of the original house, with one window on the second storey and two on the ground floor. A large buttress, likely dating from the 19th or early 20th century, is located between the ground-floor windows. The ground-floor windows are 2-light wood casements, the left-hand one dating from the 19th century with two panes per light; the second-storey window, above the buttress, has an ovolo-moulded wood frame dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, with 19th-century casements containing two panes per light. To the left of the house is a courtyard enclosed by a high wall with a 20th-century plank door. The outbuilding, formerly part of the house, has no openings except for a plank door. A 20th-century lean-to with a corrugated iron roof extends in front of the right-hand side of the outbuilding, spanning halfway across the courtyard wall.

Inside the right-hand ground-floor room of the house's current domestic section are a chamfered upper-floor beam with scroll-stops, and a matching half-beam. The upper storey was not inspected. The outbuilding part has a gable fireplace with an ovolo-moulded wood lintel featuring raised run-out stops; a chamfered upper-floor beam and half-beam, both with step-stops; and scratch-moulded joists. Two original roof trusses have threaded purlins. One truss has a collar with shaped ends halved into the principals and fastened with two wooden pegs and two nails, along with short vertical struts halved to the feet of the principals. The house forms a notable group with the nearby bank barn (separately listed) located ten metres to the north-west.
