The house is constructed of local coursed and squared blue lias with Ham stone dressings and features

Since then the property has been sensitively modernised to combine the amenities of modern living whilst retaining a wealth of attractive characterful features including generouslyproportioned rooms, high ceilings with fine cornicing and original fireplaces. The property has been enhanced by a number of stylish and modern fittings and has been presented to an outstanding standard throughout. Langford Manor is set in immaculate landscaped gardens measuring approximately 7.63 acres and features an attractive detached cottage, also believed to be dated from the fifteenth century, as well as extensive outbuildings.
