Description
Langleeford Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is rendered and painted with painted stone dressings and has a Scottish slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three bays, with a single-storey, one-bay addition to the left.
The central entrance has a six-panelled door, and there are sash windows, although the intermediate glazing bars have been removed. The addition has a 12-pane sash window.
The roof is steeply pitched with gables, kneelers, and thin raised coping, and there are rendered stacks at the ends.
Inside, the farmhouse has a staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, along with six-panelled doors and internal shutters.
Notably, Sir Walter Scott stayed here for a holiday in 1791, describing it as a snug farmer's house in the Cheviot Hills, where he enjoyed shooting, fishing, and the simplicity of rural life.
