Step inside

Langham House was built in 2019 but intelligently designed to combine the symmetry, balance and elegance of a grand Georgian residence with the contemporary comforts of modern living.

This flexible, fully integrated smart home brings together classic features such as sash windows and a statement staircase with underfloor heating, a ventilation system and integrated ceiling speakers. Meticulous attention to detail has been paid to every room, with high quality bespoke fittings and appliances.

Langham House would be perfect for a family, those who enjoy entertaining and individuals looking for privacy and space.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the quality and craftmanship to be found throughout Langham House, being both grand and welcoming. At its heart is a bespoke, handcrafted wooden staircase rising through three floors and finished in a custom wood stain, with a continuous handrail and striking bronze coated spindles; all in all it’s an architectural feature in its own right.

The hallway leads directly into the kitchen, which in turn opens into a large orangery-style ‘snug’ that’s flooded in natural light from a roof lantern, sash-style windows and three doors opening out onto the extensive terrace, which means the available space can be extended when required.

This stylish area is undoubtedly the heart of the home, combining timeless design and cutting edge functionality.

The kitchen is designed by Alexander Bullock, with elegant, wipeable cabinets and Fisher Paykel appliances situated around a large statement island/breakfast bar that’s fitted with a Zip tap for instant boiling and filtered cold water.

A utility and boot room lies to one side of the kitchen and has many thoughtful features, including a dog shower, undercounter pet bed and plenty of storage cupboards.

Elsewhere on the ground floor is a large dining room, a sitting room, an office and a powder room just off the hallway.

The sense of space and comfort continues within the lower ground floor, which has a large family room used as a cinema space, a gym and a games room.

There’s a large laundry room, with a linen store; a wine cellar, a bar behind a concealed bookshelf, and a powder room. This floor can be accessed from outside using a flight of steps.

Step Outside

The 1.4 acres of land surrounding Langham House looks out over the rolling Monmouthshire countryside. Raglan castle can be seen in the distance.

Three sides of the house are surrounded by a large tiled terrace, making it the perfect spot for entertaining and outdoor play. Steps lead to an extensive lawn bordered by several mature trees. There are plans available for a full garden makeover by a renowned landscape artist.

A driveway surfaced in Tarmac sits in front of the property and is large enough to accommodate 10 vehicles. Electric gates and an intercom system help to keep the house private and secure.

Sellers Insight

Langham House has been our home since 2019, when we first purchased the plot. From the very moment we viewed the original property, we were captivated by its setting and location, and instantly knew it was somewhere truly special. The house enjoys a peaceful position, with beautiful views towards Raglan Castle, yet remains conveniently located so it really does offer the best of both worlds.”

“Since living here, we have carefully designed and built the house entirely to our specification, incorporating modern comforts and thoughtful features throughout. These include a ground source heat pump, underfloor heating, and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system, ensuring both efficiency and comfort. The property is also equipped with a number of security features, including CCTV and a gated intercom system, as well as a private water supply via a borehole.”

“Planning permission has been granted for a 1,700 sq. ft basement extension designed to accommodate a swimming pool and wellness complex, offering further potential for luxurious living.”

“We have taken great care to include bespoke and high-quality finishes, such as a handcrafted kitchen and designer bathrooms with imported Italian tiles. Additional features include a thoughtfully designed boot room complete with an under-counter dog bed, dog shower, fridge/freezer, dog washing machine and pull-out food drawers, as well as a hidden door leading to the wine cellar.”

“The home has been designed with both entertaining and family life in mind. The open-plan kitchen flows onto a large patio and tiered lawn, which is fully secure for pets and ideal for outdoor living.”

Abergavenny and Monmouth are both within a fifteen minute drive, they offer a variety of independent shops, restaurants and a strong community spirit, making them delightful places to visit and explore.”
