Beautifully Presented Family Home

Description

Set down a private driveway and nestled within a beautiful walled garden Langham House is an attractive five-bedroom family home offering versatile accommodation and a private peaceful setting.

Built in the late 1970s, the property has been significantly updated by the current owners and now provides well-proportioned, light-filled rooms throughout. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, giving access to the ground floor accommodation and cloakroom. To the west lies a double-aspect sitting room with an elegant Victorian marble fireplace with wood burning stove and doors leading onto the south-east facing terrace, a spacious drawing room with its own feature fireplace and separate staircase to the first floor, and a useful study. To the east, the open-plan kitchen forms the heart of the home, combining generous work space with a welcoming dining and family area, ideal for gatherings and entertaining.

The bespoke kitchen offers extensive storage, a central island with breakfast bar, and a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, microwave and range cooker. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical laundry room leading through to a spacious utility room with further storage. Beyond, the integral garage is currently used as a gym and completes the downstairs accommodation.

Two staircases lead up to the first-floor landing, which features five double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The double aspect principal bedroom in particular benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom.

Outside
Langham House is approached via electric iron gates opening onto a spacious driveway, providing ample parking. To the front, there is a three-bay cart lodge with a separate garage, and stairs lead up to a studio with a shower room, offering fabulous ancillary accommodation.

The walled garden is fully enclosed and beautifully maintained, extending to approximately 0.75 of an acre.
