Enjoying a secluded position in a superb location, this detached cottage benefits from its plot of approximately 3 acres (STS) and offers accommodation comprising three reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, boot room, four bedrooms - two with ensuite facilities - and a family bathroom. The property also benefits from an air-conditioned games room / gym, gardens, garaging, paddock and stables, outdoor living room and a balcony off the principal bedroom.
Tucked quietly away, but within a short walk of the plethora of amenities available in the village of Langham, this exquisite family home is reminiscent of a New England style property, with black weatherboarding to the exterior, fresh white contrasting window frames and dormer windows to the first floor.
A private driveway leads to the property with a five-bar gate opening onto the shingle approach which provides off-road parking for several vehicles and delivers the visitor to the house and garaging.
The property is presented in rich country chic, where warmth and comfort marry up beautifully with 21st century technology.
Although built in 1970, no part of the property remains untouched and has been constantly refurbished and improved.
Once inside, the hallway offers a welcoming space in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation.
The living room itself is a comfortable spot in which the family can draw together at the end of a busy day, whilst seated in front of a roaring wood burner.
For those who enjoy formal dining, a dedicated dining room will accommodate a sizable table awaiting a gathering of friends and the gentle clink of wine glasses. Double doors open from here onto the garden, allowing the party to flow outside during the warmer months.
Completing the reception areas, a triple aspect room, used by the current vendor as a playroom, offers direct access to a child friendly garden.
The contemporary kitchen - designed with the cook at the forefront of the designer's mind - connects all areas, with the adjacent utility and boot rooms, this is indeed the engine room of this family home.
On the first floor are four double bedrooms, the principal room and bedroom two benefit from their own ensuite facilities whilst the two remaining bedrooms share use of the family bathroom. The sumptuous principal bedroom also enjoys private access, via double doors, which open onto a balcony - a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee whilst overlooking the gardens.
A games room / gym is located adjacent to the house and is attached to the garage. This detached building offers potential annex accommodation - subject to appropriate planning consent.
The grounds of this property work for every member of the family, albeit the younger family members having space to play, the gardeners enjoying the informal beauty of the landscape or the animal lovers who can fill the paddocks and stables with breeds of their choice - however ALL come together to enjoy the ambience of the outdoor living room - what better way to spend an evening, cosy under blankets in front of a roaring fire?
