Description

Langley House is an impressive 1930’s property, with well-balanced rooms retaining many original architectural features of the period, including high ceilings throughout. This substantial five bedroom house sits in exceptional grounds in excess of 0.88 acres featuring sweeping lawns, mature trees and shrubs, overlooking rolling Cheshire countryside and hills beyond.

Planning consent (22/4773M) granted in 2020, allows for the addition of a single-storey orangery and a separate timber-frame double garage with first-floor storage.

The approach via a gravel driveway provides generous parking facilities, leading to a large, integral garage. The front door, accessed through an enclosed porch, opens int a central reception hallway. To one side is a generously proportioned sitting room with a period style steel fire grate, Art Deco ceiling and French doors into the garden room beyond. To the end of the hallway lies the dining room, also with a period style fireplace and Art Deco ceiling, overlooking the landscaped garden and countryside.

The large, light-filled kitchen features hand-crafted cabinetry, granite worktops, Aga oven and additional, separate cooking facilities, with an informal dining area, enjoying spectacular views to the hills. Leading off the kitchen is a pantry/wine store and utility room with WC off. The double garage has been constructed in such a way as to provide multi-use, extra accommodation if needed.

The first floor offers five generously sized bedrooms, the principal having a private balcony. Two large, well-appointed bathrooms with underfloor heating complete the accommodation.
