TQ 53 NE SPELDHURST LANGTON ROAD (north side), LANGTON GREEN 8/524 Oaklands House and Little Oaklands including front boundary railings II
House divided into 2 with railings fronting Langton Road. Circa mid C19. Stuccoed with a slate roof with lead rolls; stuccoed chimney shafts. Classical revival.
Plan: South facing and slightly set back from the road. The main block (Oaklands House) is rectangular, double depth on plan, 2 rooms wide with an entrance on the east side into a stair hall. Rear right (north east) wing (Little Oaklands), probably 3 rooms on plan, may be the original service wing. C20 infill in the angle between the 2 properties.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 4-bay front with rusticated quoins, a hipped roof and projecting left and right stacks; the shafts with deeply- projecting moulded cornices on brackets. Deep eaves on scrolled, fluted eaves brackets; moulded string at first floor level with an egg-and-dart frieze. The tall ground floor windows have projecting hoods of segmental pediments carried on consoles with acanthus decoration. Below the hoods a frieze of patterned encaustic tiles; moulded sills carried on moulded brackets; windows glazed with horned 2-pane sashes with vertical margin glazing. The first floor windows have eared and shouldered architraves and similar glazing. Asymmetrical 3-bay east elevation with a flat-roofed Doric porch with an entablature and square corner piers, the doorway on the south side with a part-glazed 4-panel door. The east return of the porch has an arch-headed window. To the right a shallow stair projection contains a round-headed sash window with margin panes. Little Oaklands has been rewindowed with aluminium windows.
Interior: Access unobtainable at time of survey but may preserve original features.
Boundary railings to the front (south) of Oaklands House are flanked by 2 gateways. The gateway piers are stuccoed, square on plan with moulded cornices and flattened pyramidal caps. The railings curve outwards from the inner piers, on a stuccoed brick base with a brick cornice. The railing verticals are round on plan with elaborate fleur de lis finials.
