A remarkable period residence nestled in the highly coveted area near Marple Bridge village center. This property showcases numerous original features, along with a driveway for PARKING and beautifully landscaped gardens.
"Longmead" stands as an elegant detached home gifted to Louise Wainwright on her wedding to renowned cotton merchant and magistrate, Percy Woodhouse (later Sir Percy Woodhouse KBE DL JP). Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and no expense spared, this grand structure epitomizes the architectural style of late 19th-century residences. It retains a plethora of period elements, including original fireplaces, ornate ceilings, exquisite doors and staircase, and intricate stained glass windows.
Thoughtfully preserved by its current custodians, this distinctive abode features: a charming storm porch adorned with elaborate stonework and original tiling, leading to the grand entrance hall showcasing a striking staircase; a drawing room graced with an original fireplace, decorative ceiling, bay windows with window seats, and enchanting toplights; and a dining room with its own fireplace and dual aspect views. Additionally, there's a generously sized study, morning room, and a spacious kitchen boasting an Aga stove, alongside a convenient downstairs WC. The property also offers sizable cellars divided into two chambers.
The first floor hosts four double bedrooms, some retaining their original fireplaces, while two bedrooms feature practical wash hand basins. Two first-floor bathrooms exude period charm, with highlights including a freestanding roll-top bath and a high flush WC set on ornate brackets. Ascending to the second floor reveals two more bedrooms and a shower room.
Externally, a shared driveway leads to the private driveway, offering ample parking space. External storage rooms and a gardener's WC add to the property's utility. Mature hedging provides privacy from the road, while the sprawling grounds feature well-maintained lawns, an array of mature trees, and ornamental shrubs.
