Listed Building record MDO23507 - Langton Farmhouse, Langton Long, Blandford

Seventeenth century farmhouse, with early eighteenth century extensions and remodelling. Rendered and whitewashed walls to main facade, exposed walls of flint, rubble and brick on sides and back. The record for this monument has been enhanced with support from Wessex Water.

'(8) Langton Farm (89590585), house, of two storeys with attics, has walls of flint, rubble and brick, partly banded and partly rendered, and tile-covered roofs. In the N.W. range, now of ten bays, the six bays on the N.E. are of 17th-century origin ; early in the 18th century the range was extended on the W.W. by another four bays and a S.E. wing was formed at the S.W. end of the extension. The mid 18th-century stone porch from Langton House (see above) was reset on the N.E. front, presumably c. 1827. Recently the main N.E. range has been rendered and the windows have been provided with modern casements. Inside, the original range contains some exposed beams ; the 18th-century extension has chamfered beams with shaped stops resting on lightly chamfered wall-plates. A staircase with slender Tuscan-column balusters and a moulded handrail occurs in the 18th-century extension.' <1>
