Edwardian splendour in established gardens and grounds.


Description

Langmead House is a former Leconfield estate property which has been lovingly restored and improved by its current owners. In recent years the property has undergone a significant programme of refurbishment including a sizeable extension, and the addition of a tennis court and garage building. The property has stylish interiors throughout and has a particularly light and airy feel, due to the classic Edwardian proportions and sash windows.

Internally, the entrance hall provides access to a study with fireplace and views to the front, and also to the dining room, which in turn leads on to an elegant drawing room with fireplace and glorious views over adjacent farmland. To the rear of the ground floor is a kitchen/breakfast room with range cooker, bespoke wooden cabinetry and French doors leading on to the rear patio with gardens beyond. A cosy family room is just off the kitchen and connects with a useful boot room.

On the first floor, the master bedroom is an impressive size with walk through dressing room and en suite bathroom. A further three bedrooms and two bathrooms can be found on the first floor. Stairs lead to the second floor which comprises two bedrooms and a further bathroom.

Externally, the grounds are very well laid out and of particular note is the brick-built outbuilding which is currently set up as a games room and stable but could be used for a variety of purposes, such as home office or studio. Further outbuildings include a recently constructed two bay garage with log store. The gardens are a particular feature of the house, having been beautifully maintained, with areas of lavender, wild flowers and an avenue of beech hedging. The garden also allows access directly to local walks including the Serpents Trail and Lavington Common. The remainder of the land is laid to lawn with a small paddock and tennis court. A driveway to the front and side provides parking for several cars and is approached via electric gates.
