extended 1907. Dressed stone, some masonry brought to course, granite and freestone
dressings. Roof of small slates with sprocketted eaves, gabled at ends, 1 wing with
half-hipped end. 6 brick stacks, square in section, with round-headed recesses and
moulded brick cornices. Some decorative slate-hanging in gables. The west front of
the house is E-plan, in the Elizabethan style and seems to preserve some original
work in situ, although the extent of the rebuilding is difficult to determine. The
rear is less archaeological, and consists of 4 irregular picturesque projections, 3
gabled and 1 half-hipped. The masonry of 1 rear projection is probably C16 or C17.

doorway has segmental arch with keystone, arch carried on capitals supported on

reconstruction. First floor of porch has a 3-light mullioned window with leaded
panes under a hoodmould with label stops. Ogee-headed chamfered 1-light window in
porch gable. Ground floor windows to left and right of porch each a 4-light granite
mullioned window with king mullion, hoodmould and label stops, leaded panes. Similar
smaller 4-light windows to first floor, without king mullions. The north and south
front wings have similar 3 and 2-light mullioned windows, 2 with hoodmoulds raised
above the lintels were probably reconstructed in 1907. The north wing has a 1907
Tudor arched doorway under a hoodmould on the south side. The west gable end of the
north wing has 4 tall chamfered 1-light windows, 3 similar windows and one 2-light
mullioned window to the south wing. Elsewhere the house preserves 1907 fenestration;
1-, 2-, 3- and 4-light timber sashes, mostly with high transoms.
Interior 1 small room panelled throughout with bolection moulded panelling,
including cupboards on either side of a fireplace. 2 reconstructed Tudor chimney
pieces in the hall. Plaster ceilings with strapwork decoration of 1907. Some good
C18 and C19 doors. Langstone Manor was owned by Tavistock Abbey before the
