The scale of this wonderfully versatile, expansive home belies the understated front façade. A bright and welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. From the moment you enter, there is a wonderful sense of space and flow, with views extending through to the rear garden and countryside beyond.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning handmade open-plan kitchen/ dining room.

There is ample room for a large dining table, creating a superb family hub for both everyday living and entertaining. Bifold doors open onto the terrace and gardens beyond, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor offers exceptional flexibility, with two generous rooms currently arranged as a guest suite and a useful studio/gym, each benefitting from en-suite facilities. A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off of the kitchen, while the sizeable utility room provides a practical and well-equipped space. Glazed doors from the kitchen lead into a substantial formal sitting room, where further bi-fold doors flood the space with natural light and provide direct access to the garden. Double doors connect to a second reception room/snug, creating a more intimate atmosphere, and featuring a charming wood-burning stove, perfect for quieter evenings. To the front, a study completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is a standout room, offering generous proportions and an abundance of natural light. A Juliet balcony provides delightful views across the rear garden, while large Velux windows enhance the bright and airy feel. The bedroom is complemented by a well-appointed en-suite bathroom and a comprehensive array of built-in wardrobes. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Outside

Externally, Longmead continues to impress with its generous and versatile outdoor space.

Approached via an attractive newly laid granite-set driveway, the property enjoys an impressive arrival and attractive street presence. To the rear, a spacious paved terrace, enclosed by a low brick wall, provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, and enjoying the surrounding views. Beyond the terrace, the main garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established planting, creating an attractive and private setting. A superb greenhouse further enhances the appeal for keen gardeners and those looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle. At the far end of the plot, a gated paddock area is currently managed as a wildlife garden, encouraging biodiversity while also providing space for chickens. This flexible area offers exciting potential for a variety of uses, including a productive kitchen garden, smallholding, nature area, or extension of the formal garden.

A particular highlight of the property is the substantial detached studio/gym. Complete with power and lighting and enjoying peaceful views over the paddock, this versatile space offers endless possibilities as a fitness studio, home office, creative workspace, hobby room, or garden retreat.
