Charming small holding centred around a most handsome Arts & Crafts house.
Description
Langley is understood to have been constructed in 1895 and was designed in the Arts & Crafts style. The house has brick, rendered elevations with a clay tiled roof and decorative brick chimney stacks and ridge tiles as a feature. Throughout the house are other original Arts & Crafts features including several stone mullion windows with leaded lights, parquet flooring in the drawing room, a gothic, arched architrave with heavy timber front door and decorative stone open fireplaces in several of the rooms. The house has spacious, well laid out accommodation over two floors, with some charming principal rooms including a large reception hall, a splendid drawing room with large bay window and window seat, a dining room with decorative fire place and window seat, a snug and morning room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove and a good size kitchen and breakfast room. All with parquet flooring. On the first floor is a spacious principal bedroom suite with views over the garden and paddocks.
Accommodation
Please see floor plans.
Outside
Langley has been operated as a small holding and the outside layout and field enclosures have been divided accordingly. The property has two points of access via separate private driveways leading from the lane. The main access leads to the front of the house where there is parking for several cars. The alternate access leads to the old coach house, outbuildings and ‘farm’. The main formal gardens at Langley are to the south and east where a lovely large level lawn leads towards a boundary hedge, the other large paddock being beyond that. In the garden there are some fine mature trees including two particularly impressive Copper Beeches. A terrace wraps around the house to the rear where there is dining area to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. To the west of the house is a further area of formal garden and a terrace outside the kitchen. Also in this area is a soft fruit cage and kitchen garden, beyond that is the coach house, a workshop and various other outbuildings. On the south side beyond a fine Beech hedge is a swimming pool and log cabin currently in use as a gym. Beyond that is a stable block with access to the paddocks where there is a Polytunnel and barn.
