Statement of Interest

Despite the loss of most of its glazing and various additions at rear, there remain some good details - the overhanging bracketed eaves, columnar porch and bargeboarded gables being particularly noteworthy. Although Langrig steading (or 'Longrig' as it is marked) appears on the 1858 Ordnance Survey map, the house itself is not.
