Lower Langford, BS40 5DB

DESCRIPTION An attractive and substantial detached period family home of immense character, occupying a lovely edge of village position on the outskirts of Lower Langford. The original cottage dates back, in parts, to the 17th century, however it has been much improved and extended over the centuries to create what is now some 2745 sq ft of versatile accommodation, boasting five bedrooms and as many as four/five reception rooms. Of particular note, is the elegant Georgian façade of the property adding dramatic and handsome appeal to this lovely family home. This is the perfect home for large families. Indeed with some thought and the relevant permission, the attached outbuildings would make for a perfect Air B&B or holiday cottage providing an additional income.

Internally the property retains much of its original character including flagstones floors, panelled doors and handsome original fireplaces. There is the convenience of a recently refitted kitchen and both a beautifully designed bathroom and separate shower room, central heating and timber double glazed sash windows. The accommodation is incredibly versatile, making it extremely suitable for a large family or for purchasers who are looking for a property suitable for co-habiting with a dependent relative or indeed a live-in nanny. 

In total there are five well proportioned bedrooms and five receptions, plus two kitchens, a family bathroom and two shower rooms. The beautiful established grounds amount to approaching 2.5 acres and include a formal cottage garden with an enchanting ornamental pond, established kitchen garden, two separate paddocks, ideal for those with equestrian interests, numerous out buildings, sheds and even a greenhouse with an incredibly productive grape vine. With ample parking to the side of the house accessed via a gravelled stone driveway through a pretty five bar gate. Along with the generous parking area there is a single garage and a covered car port which sits within the curtilage of the property.  A newly laid and generous patio sits to the rear of the house. The house and land are well screened from the road with mature trees, shrubs and hedged boundaries. Equestrian enthusiasts will delight in the excellent riding country within easy reach and the workshop would make a great artist's studio or could be suitable for alternative use. The property is situated alongside acres of open common, affording it superb privacy and incredible rural views, with miles upon miles of footpaths and bridleways on your doorstep to explore.
