Description

Kennelman's House, part of Langton House, is a single storey and attic, three-bay house, likely designed by David Bryce in the later 19th century. It is constructed from squared and snecked stugged sandstone, featuring droved stop-chamfered margins.

On the southeast elevation, there is a boarded door in the center with a two-pane rectangular fanlight above. Each flanking bay has a canted window that is corbelled to square at eaves height, which breaks the eaves in a substantial gable. This gable includes a small bipartite window and is adorned with ornate pierced trefoil bargeboarding, a kingpost, and timber finials.

The northwest elevation also has three bays, with a broad gabled bay in the center. It features a boarded door to the right, with wrought iron hinges, and a window to the left of center. The bay to the right is raised and gabled, while the single storey bay to the left has two boarded doors.

The house has four- and five-pane timber sash and case windows, a slate roof with some fish-scale slate bands, and iron ornamental cresting, along with a variety of ashlar and rendered, coped stacks. The interior was not seen as of 1995.
