Langaford

This is a house, formerly a farmhouse, dating to around the early 16th century. It was extended and remodelled at the upper end in the early 19th century. The construction is stone rubble, with rough plaster on the lower south side and rendered plaster on the upper north side. It has slate roofs with gabled ends, with the roof at the upper end being raised and featuring overhanging eaves. Rendered chimneys are present, the one at the north end being slate-hung.

The original plan consisted of three rooms and a through passage, with an axial stack in the hall backing onto the passage and inner room, and gable-end stacks at the lower end. The screen or wall on the lower side of the passage is now missing, and a 19th-century staircase has been inserted into the upper end of the hall. The front wall of the lower end has been brought forward, and the hall and upper end have been entirely remodelled and raised.

The house is two storeys high and has a four-window front. The right-hand, two-window range features sash windows with glazing bars in moulded frames, and a central panelled door with a rectangular fanlight and moulded hood on brackets. The left-hand range has 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. A gabled, two-storey porch is situated to the left of centre, featuring a large round arch with imposts. The wide inner doorway to the passage has a chamfered timber frame with an ogee-shaped head, a nail-studded plank door with head moulding, and wrought iron hinges. A Norwich Union fire insurance plaque is located in the apex of the porch gable.

Inside, the axial hall fireplace has an ovolo-moulded timber lintel with bar stops supported on moulded granite corbels. An unstopped chamfered hall ceiling beam is also present. The kitchen in the lower room has a gable-end fireplace with a chamfered lintel. The lower room and passage contain closely spaced, chamfered ceiling beams, alternating with step stops. The upper end of the house retains much of its early 19th-century joinery, and a narrow stair hall has been inserted into the upper end of the hall. The lower end roof has a truss with a side-pegged dovetail lap-jointed cranked collar, which may have been altered, though this could not be confirmed. The roof over the hall and upper end has trusses with lap-jointed side-pegged apices and collars. It is said that there was a fire at the upper end of the house.
