History
Langham House dates from about 1709. It has had several notable former residents during its three-century history. George Hay, 7th Marquess of Tweeddale lived at the house between 1780 and 1790. Air Vice-Marshal, Philip Game resided at the house in 1937. The house was listed Grade II in January 1950. The land to the south of the house became the access road for the Grade II*-listed Langham House Close development, designed by Stirling and Gowan in 1956; this was built on the garden plot behind the house, between 1957 and 1958, and is considered an exemplar of Brutalist architecture.
