Description

Langley Cottage is a most handsome detached Grade II Listed house quietly tucked away in the village of Langley Burrell set away from passing traffic. Dating back to the 18th Century, the property has an impressive eye-catching front aspect approached over a central wide gravelled driveway leading to the beautiful double fronted elevation. The property exudes elegance and boasts well-proportioned rooms combined with period features such as sash windows with window seats, exposed timber beams, and traditional fireplaces. The recently updated accommodation spans over three floors extending in all to 2,632 sq.ft. Upgrades include a new external boiler and pressurised mega-flow hot water system.

The ground floor opens to an impressive entrance hall with original flagstone flooring with galleried stairs rising to the first floor. The ground floor layout includes three reception rooms, a garden room and newly refitted kitchen/breakfast room. The dining room features a new wood-burning stove and adjoins the kitchen/breakfast room which is positioned at the rear of the house overlooking the beautiful private garden. The kitchen has been recently updated with a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, hob, oven and microwave combi oven.  Beside the kitchen there is a utility room with downstairs WC. To the other side, there is a dual-aspect sitting room with fireplace and a cosy snug which leads out to the garden room. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes which includes the principal bedroom. The principal bedroom has a newly installed en-suite shower room. Off the landing there is a family bathroom which has also been upgraded with engineered oak flooring and a shower over the bath. On the top floor, there are two further characterful attic bedrooms served by an additional bathroom.

Accompanying the main house is The Pump House (421 sq.ft.), a charming self-contained detached annexe arranged to the side of the property. The annexe is currently successfully run as a holiday let, but can serve as a range of purposes such as independent accommodation for a family member. The modern fitted interior is well-equipped with an open plan kitchen/living area and shower room. Whilst upstairs there is a mezzanine style bedroom with built-in storage. There is plenty of parking in front of The Pump House as well as a private allocated garden area at the back.

Extending to about 0.50 acres, the gardens are arranged to both the front and the rear and have been beautifully landscaped with care and attention. The front garden comprises a lawn either side of the driveway bound by colourful flower beds and mature trees, in particular a magnificent willow. The rear garden is an idyllic haven to enjoy with a great degree of privacy whilst backing onto paddocks with a southerly aspect. Off the back of the house there is a sunken patio seating terrace with steps up to a large lawn. Within the garden there is a timber garden store.
