The house is built in the neo-classical style and has many interesting architectural features. It is Grade II* listed and stands in 83 acres of parkland. It is constructed in two storeys of red brick with ashlar dressings and standing on an ashlar plinth with a hipped slate roof. The frontage has 5 bays.[1] HistoryOriginally the house was built c.1774, probably as a hunting lodge, by John Carr of York for Charles Slingsby Duncombe (1746-1803) who owned all the land in Langford and was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1834–35. His son, Charles Duncombe (1764-1841) was created 1st Baron Feversham of Duncombe Park near Helmsley, North Yorkshire in 1826. A memorial tablet to Slingsby Duncombe, who also lived in Bryanston Square London, is in Langford Church. In 1832 the estate, along with that of nearby Winthorpe, was sold by Duncombe to Lord Middleton, who had estates in Yorkshire and also owned Wollaton Hall in Nottinghamshire. The Middleton family owned Langford until 1925 when the estate was sold to Trinity College, Cambridge. During this period 1832-1939 the house was let and there were a number of tenants over the years. In 1853 it was the seat of Alfred Haffenden. In 1880–81 William Henry Coape Gates of Langford Hall was high sheriff. Sir Charles Seely, 1st Baronet[2] resided here in 1901. In 1939 at the outbreak of the war the house was requisitioned and was occupied by the Army and later the Air Force. In 1945 the Langford Estate was sold, Langford Hall itself being purchased by Charles Roach who established the Dolphin Preparatory school which continued until 1968 when the school was closed. After this the building was purchased by Patrick Radford CBE who carried out a major programme of repairs completing in 1972. A large two storey service wing was demolished and the vaulted cellars filled in. In 2009 it became the home of the Sumsion family.
