Langhaugh Farmhouse is an attractive country house. The original part of the building is believed to date from the 19th century, with the front added later. It was the farmhouse for the neighbouring farm until 2003, and still retains much of its original period character and features, including cornicing and yellow cedar panelled doors. At that stage the house benefited from considerable refurbishment and renovations. It is a fine, stone built house, with a slate roof, which faces south out over its own enclosed gardens and grounds. The accommodation is spacious, with good sized reception rooms and bedrooms, so is ideal for both family living and for entertaining. It is approached by a tarred farm road from which gates open up onto the private drive leading up to a tarred parking and turning area at the front of the house and to the garage attached to the rear.

Front doors open to a double-glazed entrance porch with a tiled floor. The welcoming hallway has a staircase to the first floor and a useful understair cupboard. To one side is an impressive, double aspect sitting room with a warming Minster stone fireplace, together with high level skirting and window shutters. On the other is the equally impressive dining room, again double aspect with window shutters and high level skirting, along with a fireplace with wooden mantel. This is currently used as a living room. Along with the hallway it connects to the family room, which runs the whole width of the house with a fireplace at either end, one incorporating a wood burning stove, together with four wall lights, window shutters and shelves. Beyond is an inner lobby, off which is a useful downstairs bathroom with bath, shower, pedestal washbasin and WC. The kitchen has custom- made freestanding units with wooden work tops, incorporating a sink, dresser and butcher's block, together with a cosy Rayburn stove, clothes pulley and an understair shelved cupboard. The adjacent utility room has fitted units with sink and Belfast sink, along with a Rangemaster Classic 90 cooker with extractor, Hotpoint washing machine and a walk in shelved larder. Beyond is an integral garage with up and over door, Hotpoint dryer, Norfrost chest freezer and Trianco boiler. Also off the kitchen is a rear entrance porch, while back stairs from the inner lobby lead up to an office (previously used as bedroom five), with storage cupboards.

The main stairs lead up to split front and rear landings. Bedroom one is double aspect with window shutters, wooden mantel and a washbasin. An adjoining study/dressing room also has window shutters, while bedroom two is again double aspect with window shutters, along with an alcove with cupboard. It connects through to bedroom three, currently used as a dressing room, and links to the rear landing. Off this is a bathroom with bath with shower, pedestal washbasin and WC. Bedroom four again has window shutters.

The attractive gardens are mostly in front of the house and are enclosed by walls and hedges. They comprise lawns together with shrubs and trees, including rhododendrons. There is a metal frame with lighting, providing an ideal seating area, together with an arbour seat and a covered well. There are composting areas, a trampoline and swing, while to the side of the house are apple and plum trees. An enclosed paddock is presently a wild area with paths leading to a seating area.
