Langwith Avenue, Collingham, LS22

Occupying a highly sought-after position within the very heart of Collingham village, is this truly exceptional period family home which successfully combines an abundance of original character with an exquisite standard of contemporary finish.

Extending to approximately 2,095 sq. ft. and enjoying particularly generous gardens, this elegant home offers beautifully proportioned and highly versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.

The quality and character of the property are immediately apparent upon entering the impressive reception hallway, where stripped timber flooring, decorative cornicing, an original staircase and a beautiful stained glass entrance door provide a wonderful introduction to the accommodation beyond.

Positioned to the front of the property is an elegant and generously proportioned living room. A magnificent walk-in bay window allows natural light to flood the room, while original timber flooring, decorative plasterwork, fitted shelving and a feature fireplace with wood burning stove combine to create a wonderfully comfortable yet sophisticated reception space.

Undoubtedly one of the defining features of this exceptional home is the superb open plan dining kitchen positioned to the rear. Designed with both everyday family life and entertaining firmly in mind, this impressive space enjoys a delightful outlook across the gardens.

The kitchen itself has been finished to an exacting standard, incorporating a comprehensive range of deep blue cabinetry complemented by elegant brass fittings and extensive stone effect work surfaces. A substantial central island provides further storage, preparation space and informal seating, while a range of quality integrated appliances completes this superbly appointed kitchen.

The adjoining dining area provides ample space for more formal gatherings, while extensive glazing and doors opening directly onto the garden create a wonderful connection between the internal and external accommodation. The attractive herringbone flooring running throughout further enhances the sense of quality and continuity.

A particularly useful utility room, with access to the garden and completes the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the generous proportions continue. There are three excellent bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom which benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms on this floor are complemented by a beautifully appointed house bathroom featuring a contemporary freestanding bath and attractive detailing.

The second floor provides yet another outstanding feature of the property. Here, an impressive bedroom offers a superb private space, with roof windows providing excellent natural light and useful eaves storage. An additional room on this level is presently arranged as a study but offers excellent flexibility as an occasional bedroom, nursery, dressing room or dedicated home office.

Externally, the property occupies a particularly generous plot. To the rear are substantial and beautifully established gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees, hedging and established planting which combine to provide an excellent degree of privacy. A paved terrace adjoining the house creates an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, while the sheer scale of the garden is a significant asset for a property positioned so centrally within the village.

To the front, a gravelled driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to the integral garage, while established gardens and the property's handsome period façade create an impressive first impression.

The location is equally compelling. Langwith Avenue sits within the heart of Collingham, providing convenient access to the excellent range of village amenities and, importantly for families, the property is particularly well placed for the highly regarded Lady Elizabeth Hastings' Church of England Primary School.

This is a quite exceptional family home where the current owners have achieved an impressive balance between retaining the elegance, proportions and architectural character of the original property while introducing the quality and practicality expected of modern-day living. Rarely do homes offering this combination of accommodation, presentation, garden and central village location become available, and an early internal inspection is strongly recommended.
