East Langdon House

East Langdon House nestles at the end of a private lane shared with very few neighbouring homes. The setting benefits from outstanding views over the gardens and pasture across open countryside. The owners who have been in residence for some seven years have made several improvements to the home including the refurbishment and completion of a very large modern barn and the addition of a wooden framed car port. There are many character features throughout including wooden and slated floors, beamed ceilings including some ‘A’ frames, window seats and exposed fireplaces. Principal rooms are spacious and highly flexible. There is space at the side of the house where at present a large play room could create a self-contained ground floor bedroom suite using the adjacent shower room/WC. The grounds are delightful and comprise of immediate well-manicured gardens, a productive area and pasture paddocks which gently descend down to a water course and would be perfect for grazing horses or stock. East Langdon House is a substantial home with many qualities and is well worthy of an early viewing.

Internally, the accommodation is accessed from the welcoming reception hallway which has a tiled and slated floor. The sitting room is dominated by the stone feature fire surround which has a clome oven recess. The adjacent music room is a light and airy space that also has a feature stone fire surround. The kitchen/dining room is very spacious and triple aspect. There are many matching wood fronted units, as well as a centre unit and modern down lighting. The room has access to a walk-in pantry with original flooring and slate shelving. The kitchen leads to the long utility room. Completing the ground floor is a play room which has a high ceiling, rear porch with external door, as well as an adjacent modern shower room/WC with large shower tray. This whole area would make a superb office for those who work from home or could serve as a ground floor bedroom suite for a dependent relative with limited mobility.

On the first floor are all five bedrooms. The dual aspect master bedroom has an en-suite shower room/WC with electric shower, the bedroom has the benefit of breath-taking views over the gardens and land. Two of the remaining four bedrooms are generous sized double bedrooms with bedrooms two and three having large recessed cupboards adjacent to the chimneys. The family bathroom/WC is spacious and well appointed with a modern suite including a free standing bath.

The property has mainly traditional design sash windows installed by the current vendors which are double glazed aluminium clad wood. There is oil fired central heating and both chimneys have been lined and flued. One of the many efficiencies include PV solar panels which extends to 4kw. The solar heats the hot water and the inverter enables the household to use the electric being generated. The excess is then exported to the national grid generating income which subsidises utilities.

Externally, the sweeping circular gravelled driveway at the front of the home provides plenty of off road parking and serves the attractive and modern wooden framed car port. Adjacent to the car port is a store room for bikes and surfboards. On top of the roof are the PV solar panels. The front gardens are attractive with a pond. The drive continues to the side of the property where the large workshop will be found which has power and light. The immediate gardens at the rear comprise of a level patio area and lawn. There is outside lighting, water and power. A productive area of garden, is lower down and includes many raised vegetable beds (including asparagus), as well as a greenhouse and fruit frame. A level piece of land beside the productive garden could become a small ménage, football or tennis lawn. The wooden stable block has a solid base, two loose boxes and a hay store/tack room.

The large wooden framed barn has two internal areas and a hard-core base. It can be used for storing agricultural vehicles or other items such as caravans or boats. It is a very useful asset and a major benefit. The agricultural land is incorporated into two large paddocks which gently descend down to a small water course. The land is well defined and enclosed and suitable for grazing horses or stock. A further corrugated field shelter provides useful storage.

The current vendors have planted over 150 young trees; including oak, chestnut, beech, walnut, cherry, apple and Christmas trees.
