NT 760 527 Langton Steading is a particularly rare and varied group of high-quality agricultural buildings with an origin in the later 18th century, associated with the dramatic impact on the Langton estate of David Gavin. An earlier suite of buildings survives as a courtyard of L-plan ranges with a notable collection of mason's marks. This was altered and augmented in the later 19th century by a grander walled garden and further agricultural buildings to the N, including a workshop and forge designed by the office of David Bryce, the famous Scots Baronial architect of the 1880s Langton House. A Level 2 Historic Building Survey and a desk-based assessment were undertaken in October 2005 as a condition of planning consent for its conversion.
