Description
Longburgh House and adjoining outbuildings date from 1782, featuring the initials W. & A.H. above the side entrance. The structure is built of English garden wall bond brickwork with raised V-jointed quoins and a moulded string course, topped by a hipped roof made of graduated greenslate and brick chimney stacks. The house is two stories high with multiple bays, forming a courtyard enclosed by buildings on all four sides.
The entrance facade has four bays and is flanked by gables of the garden facade, which is at right angles to the right, and a barn at right angles to the left. The entrance features two six-panel doors with intersecting glazing bars in the fanlight, set within a pilastered surround that includes impost blocks and a false keystone. Sash windows with glazing bars are present in painted architraves, with larger sash windows in the gables and the garden facade. The barn has double plank doors set in a quoined round arch, which features a dated and inscribed keystone. There are flanking vented windows with similar windows above, as well as oculi above the entrance. At the rear, the stable/barn includes a projecting cart entrance and slit vents.
