Longwood

Longwood is a house of earlier origin, significantly altered in the late 18th century with further extensions added in the early 20th century. The front wall is constructed of brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring blue headers, red quoins, and blue header panels between and on either side of the upper windows, as well as a first-floor band. The brick arches have a cambered shape with flat extrados. The remaining walls are of Flemish Garden Wall bond with blue headers. The roof is tiled, with a catslide at the rear, gabled rear wings, and a staircase wing. The north-west front elevation presents a symmetrical facade with two storeys and three windows, featuring 20th-century leaded casement windows. A plain doorway is topped with a decorative head supported by brackets. Inside, there are 17th-century beams, a 20th-century staircase within the 18th-century staircase wing, and oak panelling in a style imitating about 1700, though likely dating from about 1900. It appears to have originated as a farmhouse, although associated outbuildings have disappeared, and the property now stands within a suburban setting.
