The Long House – Pavilion-Style Luxury in the Heart of Tallentire

Tucked away in a tranquil corner of the highly sought after village of Tallentire, The Long House is a landmark, architect designed home offering an extraordinary blend of cutting edge design, luxurious finishes, and thoughtful Mediterranean inspired landscaping.

Built to the highest standard by the current owners, this stunning pavilion-style residence boasts expansive, light filled interiors, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and exquisite detailing throughout. Clean, modern lines and natural materials meet practical energy efficiency, with underfloor heating, an air source heat pump, and heat recovery systems delivering low running costs without compromising comfort.

At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open plan living, dining, and kitchen area - an entertainer’s dream - with premium appliances, dining space for twelve, a sleek wall mounted wood burning stove, and an entire wall of sliding glass that opens onto the garden terrace, effortlessly merging indoor and outdoor living.

A spacious second reception room with integrated media wall provides flexible options - perfect as a teenage retreat, private sitting room, or adaptable annexe with its own kitchenette, utility area, and shower room.

The principal suite is truly impressive: expansive in scale and featuring a luxurious ensuite, fitted wardrobes, a dressing area, and private access to the hot tub area - a serene personal escape. Three additional double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, built in wardrobes, and direct garden access, offer privacy and comfort for family and guests alike.

Outside, the Mediterranean style gardens are a true extension of the living space, with a beautifully landscaped front courtyard and a sun drenched, wraparound rear garden. Terraced patios, a private hot tub deck, mature planting, and south west orientation make this a secluded and tranquil haven.
