Description - Langholm, built in 1893 of brick under a tiled roof stands nicely back from the lane, approached over a gravelled drive. The original house has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced by the present owner in recent years. Indeed, the house has been transformed both internally and externally yet still retains the charm and character of its period with fine fireplaces, high ceilings, minton tiled floors, stained glass windows, ceiling cornices and picture rails. The space is really impressive, with the two storey accommodation extending to 2,100 square feet plus the useful cellar (300 square feet). Planning permission has been granted to convert the loft into a fourth bedroom with en-suite shower room, this would be an option for those wanting to put their own stamp on the house. The warmth, appeal and lovely atmosphere of this special home can only be fully recognised when viewed.

The gardens are a delight, well planned and adaptable and an ideal setting to relax or entertain.
