Appraisal
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.
