Longbourn House, Mill Pool, Leighton, SY5

Tucked away along a private driveway shared with just two other homes, Longbourn House is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home occupying a wonderfully private plot extending to around a quarter of an acre in the sought-after village of Leighton, just five minutes from Attingham Park.

Having been cherished by the current owners for the past twenty-one years, this is a home where every detail reflects genuine pride of ownership. Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully updated and decorated in calming Farrow & Ball tones, it offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

From the moment you step inside, there's an unmistakable sense that this is a home which has been deeply loved, meticulously maintained and enjoyed every bit as much as it has been admired.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with attractive Karndean flooring drawing you through the home towards the kitchen beyond. To one side, the spacious living room enjoys lovely leafy views over the front garden, creating a peaceful place to relax. Double doors connect seamlessly with the dining room, allowing the two spaces to become one for entertaining, or to be separated when a more intimate, cosy feel is desired during the winter months.

The dining room opens directly onto the rear garden through patio doors, making it perfect for family gatherings and summer entertaining.

The breakfast kitchen has been beautifully cared for and offers an excellent range of contemporary units topped with beautifully maintained solid timber worktops. A Belfast sink sits perfectly beneath the window overlooking the gardens, while the impressive five-ring Rangemaster-style range cooker creates a wonderful focal point (please note the range cooker is not included in the sale but is available through separate negotiation).

An adjoining utility room provides further storage and appliance space, together with a practical side entrance that's ideal after countryside walks or time spent in the garden. Beyond this, the garage has been thoughtfully adapted to include a substantial utility area with an extensive range of fitted cupboards and a sink. It's one of those features that proves invaluable in day-to-day family life, offering abundant additional storage as well as the perfect place to wash muddy boots, clean off dogs after walks or deal with the inevitable mess that comes with an active outdoor lifestyle. A cloakroom and useful understairs storage complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home's impeccable presentation. Three of the largest bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, while the particularly spacious principal bedroom enjoys its own beautifully appointed en-suite. The family bathroom and en-suite have both been fitted with high-quality Burlington sanitaryware and Bristan fittings, reflecting the exceptional standard of presentation found throughout the home.

Every window frames attractive views of mature trees and gardens, reinforcing the wonderful sense of privacy and connection with nature that the owners have loved throughout their time here.

Outside is where Longbourn House becomes truly special.

The beautifully landscaped rear garden has been lovingly nurtured over many years and now provides a wonderfully colourful and tranquil sanctuary. A generous Indian sandstone terrace spans the width of the house, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee, summer barbecues or evenings spent with friends and family. Beyond, the gardens gently rise through an abundance of mature shrubs, specimen trees and carefully planted borders, leading to a second seating area and summerhouse positioned to enjoy elevated views back across the garden.

ADJOINING 1.5-ACRE FIELD AVAILABLE TO RENT

Beyond the rear garden lies one of Longbourn House's most compelling lifestyle features.

For the past sixteen years, the owners have rented the adjoining 1.5-acre field from the Leighton Estate, using it over the years for horses, chickens and, more recently, as a wonderful space for grandchildren and dogs to explore.

Subject to separate agreement with the landowner, the incoming owners may have the opportunity to continue renting the field for approximately £75 per month - an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy this kind of lifestyle.

LEIGHTON VILLAGE AND SURROUNDINGS

Life at Longbourn House extends far beyond its boundaries. Leighton is a thriving village with a genuine community spirit centred around the community-owned Mill pub, regular village events, coffee mornings and an active village WhatsApp group. Excellent schooling, school bus services, beautiful countryside walks, the River Severn, The Wrekin and Wenlock Edge are all close by, while Shrewsbury, Telford and the M54 remain easily accessible.

The owners often say that, if they could, they would take Longbourn House with them. Having raised their family here, surrounded by nature, peace and an exceptional sense of community, it's easy to understand why. Few homes combine such meticulous presentation with such a peaceful setting and exceptional lifestyle opportunity.

Sewage Treatment Plant
The shared sewage treatment plant is located on the neighbouring property (No. 3) and is administered by its owners. Maintenance costs are shared equally between the connected properties, with supporting documentation provided for any works undertaken.
