Description
Langrigg Farmhouse is a plain farmhouse, likely re-worked in the earlier to mid 19th century, incorporating earlier fabric and with later additions and alterations. It has a near-square plan and a near-symmetrical, three-bay entrance front, with a pediment at the centre. Single-storey additions are present at the rear. The farmhouse is constructed of harled rubble sandstone with exposed areas, and features polished sandstone dressings, some of which are lightly droved. A raised base course is visible, as are corniced windows on the front elevation and a moulded eaves course. Narrow strip quoins (rubble quoins to the sides) are present, along with sandstone mullions and projecting cills.
The south-east (entrance) elevation features a timber panelled door, centrally located at ground level, with a batwing fanlight and corniced doorpiece. There is a single window above the door and a blind oculus centred in the pediment. A tripartite window projects from the ground floor in the bay to the outer right, with a single window above. A three-light canted window is located at ground level in the bay to the outer left, with a window directly above.
The north-east (side) elevation is irregularly fenestrated, with a four-bay main block and a painted imitation window at first floor level in the outer left bay. A single window is centred in a single-storey wing recessed to the outer right.
The windows are timber sash and case, with 2-, 6- and 12-pane glazing. The main block has a tall grey slate piended roof, while the rear has grey slate roofs. Red brick wallhead stacks are topped with circular terracotta cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted. The interior was not inspected in 1997.
Adjacent to the farmhouse is a former coach-house and a rectangular-plan outbuilding. The coach-house has a sandstone and whinstone rubble construction with tooled sandstone dressings. An entrance door on the south-east (entrance) elevation has a lintel embossed “WH.MA.1668”, incorporated from an earlier property on or near the site. Two leaf boarded timber doors provide access to segmental-arched carriage openings, and there is a square-headed window above. A panel inscribed "MT.BT. 1925-36 Rebuilt 1938" is set between the window and the doors. A boarded timber door in a screen wall links the coach-house to the rectangular-plan outbuilding. The coach-house has a grey slate piended roof and a pyramidal-capped central ventilator surmounted by a weathervane. The coach-house interior was not inspected in 1997. The outbuilding’s southwest (entrance) elevation has a boarded timber door offset to the right of centre, a blind bay to the left, and a blocked opening centred in the apex. It is topped with a grey slate roof and raised stone skews. The outbuilding's interior was not inspected in 1997.
A near square-plan walled garden is located to the east and is enclosed by a rubble coped rubble wall with cast-iron gates. Boundary walls, also coped rubble, enclose the entire site.
