Langcliffe Place

Langcliffe Place is a house built in 1784, constructed of ashlar with a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and has five bays. The ground floor features a circa 1840s extension with banded rustication, which includes an entrance porch flanked by Tuscan pilasters and a cornice designed in the style of George Webster of Kendal. The porch has been filled in with 1960s weatherboarding, and there is a 20th-century door. On either side of the porch, there are three large windows. The upper floors have five windows with plain projecting surrounds, all of which are sashes without glazing bars. The building has chamfered quoins, a frieze decorated with rosettes and vertical grooves, and an eaves cornice. The gable ends feature shaped kneelers, coping, and ridge stacks. There are recessed projecting wings on the left and right, each two storeys high with one window on each floor, styled similarly to the upper floor windows of the main block. The right-hand bay also includes a 20th-century entrance and door. The roof has modillioned eaves and is hipped. This house was built for the Clayton family, who managed Langcliffe Hill Mill.
