  • 1.504 acres (0.609 hectares)

Langton Cottage is more of a statement country house than a town home and is believed to have formerly belonged to the Brome Hall Estate . In our last dealings with the house the owners enjoyed a tenure of some thirteen years during which time they set about this wonderful site creating splendid gardens within the approximate1.5 acres. The house itself is generously laid out providing flow and flexibility of use, catering for the requirements of modern living without losing period style and charm. The internal woodwork throughout is a particular feature and includes Georgian panelled doors, doorcases, skirting boards and window reveals. Furthermore, two handsome period cupboards adorn the dining room either side of a leaded picture window. The original timber framed building has been extended at various times through history most recently with a superb addition to the smart refitted kitchen, creating an 'all day' social space and tremendous vantage point from where to enjoy views of the garden. This has also enabled a second staircase to be inserted adding further to the convenience of the layout and 'flow'. Outside, a brick and tiled outbuilding has been converted into a Home Office which as a rectangular space could easily adapt to all manner of uses. Furthermore, serving the wide apron of gravel drive and parking area is a smart three bay cart lodge garage, two bays being open and the third providing secure storage behind double doors.

All in all this splendid house offers first class accommodation set within gardens and grounds to match. Given the ease with which the facilities of the town can be accessed and the proximity of open countryside, this really is the best of both town and country worlds.
