Larglanglee is an immaculately presented detached family home, set in a slightly elevated and private position with a predominantly southerly aspect and superb views over the surrounding countryside. 

This fine, stone built period house boasts sandstone lintels and steps, under a slate roof, and boasts many original features internally, such as original skirting boards, ceiling cornices and an impressive staircase with wrought iron balustrade.  The property has been extremely well maintained by the present owners, who have lived here for approximately 33 years, and has been upgraded over the years to include a modern shaker style kitchen and double glazing throughout. In addition, a biomass boiler provides the central heating and hot water. 

Larglanglee is set in approximately 14.9 acres, currently laid out as three paddocks and a former manège, as well as landscaped gardens and an orchard.  There is a very attractive stone-built courtyard steading, offering stabling, storage and workshop space, with an attached long barn, two modern agricultural buildings, a detached monopitch storage unit, and a detached double garage. 

This property offers the ideal business/lifestyle or equestrian opportunity and is rare to the market.

As you ascend the staircase, the landing splits off to the principal bedroom suite.  The main bedroom is accessed through its ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, which offers a bath, wash hand basin and WC.  The bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, views of the field and woodland to the rear, and has a wall of fitted wardrobes.

A private, gated entrance with tree lined driveway splits in front of the house. To the left is access to the steading and modern sheds, and to the right is the gravelled parking and turning area, with detached double garage.

The mature, well-established garden is predominantly to the front and side of the house. Positioned on a sunny and slightly elevated site, the garden enjoys a high level of privacy and far reaching views. The garden areas are immaculately maintained with lawned area, flowering borders and mature shrubs and bushes.  The side garden, adjacent to the conservatory, is a lovely sheltered suntrap, gravelled for ease of maintenance, with a flowering border, greenhouse and hot tub (included in the sale).  Located between the house and steading is a pond, and in addition there is a polytunnel and an established orchard, offering apple and plum trees, and gooseberry bushes.

Larglanglee offers an extensive range of outbuildings, suitable for a variety of uses.  The stone steading is very attractive, laid out as a square shape with inner courtyard. Within the steading is storage for the biomass boiler and pellets, former stables and loose boxes, a long barn, and a large workshop with a former hayloft above, accessed via external stone steps.  There are two modern steel frame agricultural buildings (one open fronted) and a monopitch steel framed storage unit with five roller doors.   Ideal business/lifestyle or equestrian opportunities.
