3 groups of buildings, comprising 2 L-plan 2-storey buildings forming a U-plan court of harl-pointed rubble with droved and polished ashlar dressings; single storey U-plan court to N of 2 L-plan buildings, of squared and snecked stugged sandstone with rubble side elevation; single storey range of buildings to E of this group of squared and snecked stugged sandstone with stugged ashlar dressings. Piended slate roof to S group buildings with various brick stacks (wallhead stacks to E elevations of each E range). Leaded lights to windows to E of E group; slate roof with crowstepped gables and skew to left of centre; ashlar coped wallhead stack to N and to left of centre. Slate roof to N group with fish-scale slates; louvred ogeed vent to ridge and cast-iron cresting; crow-stepped gable to E, S range. The S group was probably built at the beginning of the 19th century. The S elevation of the S building was given the more ornate margins (possibly later) as it is visible when going to the walled garden to W (see separate listing). Langton House was demolished in the 1950s. In 1857, the S group had been built and the N group was a U-plan court facing S. By 1897-8, the lay-out was very much as today. (Historic Scotland)
