Owners Comments

\"Langford Farm has been the perfect host for our hectic lifestyle. The house is so spacious, the open plan layout makes it so sociable and it is surprisingly cost effective to run. Outside we have so much space for our children to enjoy and the equestrian facilities have been perfect to accommodate our love of horses.\"

\"The pavilion was such a bonus when we moved here. We have enjoyed some amazing parties and family celebrations and it can accommodate many people. The large decking has been a wonderful viewing gallery for many large equine events.\"

Introduction

Constructed in 2007 to an exacting high standard, the farmhouse extends to 3251sqft centred around an exquisite double height entrance hall hosting a full height chimney breast and stylish oak staircase. The accommodation is beautifully presented with an open plan style enjoying a host of attractive features including a magnificent 'live in' kitchen/breakfast room, triple aspect drawing room with French doors to the garden and underfloor heating to the Flagstone tiled ground floor.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property enjoying secluded mature formal gardens and extensive show ground facilities comprising well maintained 10.5 acres of paddocks, two all-weather arenas, one of which is floodlit, 11 stables, various outbuildings and the most impressive pavilion approaching 2000sqft facilitating a range of prospective potential usages. Whilst the property is authorised to operate 28 equestrian shows each year and livery offering excellent income opportunities, the property can easily be enjoyed as a private equestrian home.

Description

A solid oak door opens into an impressive double height reception hall with an oak staircase leading to the galleried landing and first floor. The ground floor enjoys a wonderful open plan feel with Flagstone flooring flowing through the spacious and bright reception rooms which enjoy dual or triple aspects and include a grand dining room, large study and well proportioned drawing room hosting a feature fireplace and double doors to the garden. A particular feature of this area is the magnificent full height brick fireplace with inset woodburning stove.

The beautifully appointed kitchen breakfast room comprises a comprehensive range of eye and base level units, display cupboard and drawers beneath granite worksurfaces and a sociable central island unit. A useful utility room and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are four well sized bedrooms all hosting fitted wardrobe space. The master and guest suites benefit from luxurious ensuite facilities whilst the two remaining bedrooms are served by the contemporary family bathroom.

Outside

The property is approached via double wooden gates to a large gravelled driveway with parking for numerous vehicles and access to the yard containing a timber barn with oak beams which currently provides eleven stables and a tack room but could offer alternative uses, subject to planning permission. The majority of the eventing ground lies to the north east of the main house and comprises main grass area, two all weather ménages (one floodlit), cross country field and a bank complex with water. A hard standing track and parking area allows easy access for lorries. The level pasture lies within a ring fence and is divided into several enclosures by post and rail and mains electric fencing. Water is laid and there is separate paddock access from Paradise Lane.

The formal gardens comprise an extensive lawned rear garden with a variety of fruit trees and large patio area offering an ideal entertainment venue. An enclosed gravel dog friendly garden visible from the reception rooms lies to the southern elevation. The gardens total 10.5acres.

Pavilion

The pavilion has been recently refurbished by our client and is wholly impressive offering a multitude of opportunities. Extending to 1800 sq ft, there is a vast reception area opening to the external decked terrace overlooking the paddocks, toilet and storage facilities, dining area, servery with kitchen and three other sizeable rooms.
