Laughton is a historic home located near Kents Store, Fluvanna County, Virginia. The original section was begun about 1785. It was enlarged near the end of the 18th century, and in 1836, 1842, and 1976. The main section consists of a 1 1/2-story, two bay portion with a two-story, three bay addition. The house features a chimney laid in Flemish bond with double paved weatherings. The house was restored in 1976.
