What is recorded here

Longstone House bends round a corner so that, from the driveway, it looks impressively long. Even the house knows to turn sideways and spread its elbows when someone asks how much land the family has.

Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, with extension to rear (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and overhanging eaves. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows having painted sills. Square-headed opening with timber panelled door flanked by sidelights with overlight above. Outbuilding to rear with pitched corrugated-iron roof and rendered walls. Square-headed openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed openings with timber battened door.
Many original features such as the timber sash windows and doorcase have been retained in Longstone House, which enhance its appearance. The L-plan form of the building along the south elevation appear to give a long façade when viewed from the driveway. This further enhances the mass and dominance of the building in the surrounding countryside.
