Langbaurgh Hall

Langbaurgh Hall comprises a substantial Grade II Listed Georgian House which is complemented by landscaped gardens with pond, detached coach house with first floor accommodation, cobbled courtyard, walled kitchen garden, tennis court, swimming pool, outbuildings, stabling, grass paddocks and woodland. It is beautifully situated with a high degree of privacy and there is established income from a variety of sources which will appeal to those interested in a lifestyle change or those who are passionate about the environment and sustainability.

The property has been beautifully enhanced and maintained over the years. Importantly, the original character of the property has been retained so there are a wealth of period features throughout the extensive accommodation (5,550 ft2 approx.) It has also been improved by an opening created between the kitchen and sitting room which has been well used for entertaining guests by the vendors.

The principal accommodation of the house flows well with a traditional Georgian layout over two floors, with further second floor accommodation, a cellar and attics.

The main residence is complemented by a spacious first floor apartment, known as “The Mews”, which is situated above the coach house and garaging. This has been let out on a short-term basis and would benefit from some modernisation. It would also be an ideal guest annexe or work from home studio for those wishing to retain their privacy.

The whole property is beautifully complemented by extensive private landscaped gardens which have been meticulously established and maintained over the years. There is a formal south-facing garden to the front of the property where the ornamental pond is situated. This is well screened by mature and newly planted woodland. There is a further terraced garden with patio situated to the east/north east which then leads to the walled kitchen garden. There are also well-established rose gardens which beautifully enhance the paths surrounding the property.

The tennis court and swimming pool are pleasantly situated away from the residence and beyond the gardens with the backdrop of established woodland and an enclosed grass paddock. The swimming pool is usefully heated through a heat exchanger and solar panels. It is complemented by a detached Pool House with Shower, Changing Room and W.C.

The grass paddocks are situated on the fringe of the property, all being well fenced and with ready access. The central paddock lies adjacent to a detached barn/workshop which provides good sound storage for stock and vehicles.

There is a further old stable situated in the western paddock which has planning permission to be replaced by a permanent structure.

To the south and north of the principal gardens and property lie 9 acres of newly planted woodland under the English Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO), where 5,000 native trees have been planted. The area of woodland hatched green and extending to 6.7 acres approx. could be retained by the vendors if required should the purchaser(s) not wish to own this field. However, please note that the wind turbine (referred to below) is also situated in this field.

In summary, Langbaurgh Hall is an imposing property, with character, substance and presence, beautifully situated and with a high degree of privacy – it is a hidden gem.
