And as you enjoyed views of Fremington Edge and from most of the windows in your home, hope you enjoy owning this piece of history that has once taken centre stage in several TV shows. With an prestigious past this home is the dream of period property owners.
As you arrive home park outside Langhorne House you get the same sense every time, the feeling that you own a piece of history and the custodian for generations to come.
Your home that was once centre stage in a major Film & an Edwardian novel is now your private space to enjoy. The House has been variously the Doctors & Vets Surgery over its long history.
As you push open the smart blue shuttered doors you are steeped in days gone by, the original architrave and fireplaces add to the feeling of history that surrounds you.
Stepping into the hallway and into the first door on your left, the room that still surprises with the size and feel of grandeur, a formal sitting room with views panoramic views across the village green and towards Fremington Edge. When friends visit, they always delight in having tea in here.
Across the hallway a matching room that you use as your everyday living room. The twin window seats offer a front row view to comings and goings of the marketplace. The distant sight of the fells beyond gives an ever-changing view of the seasons. Morning tea is best enjoyed at the window seat watching Reeth come to life.
On chilly days with the fire roaring and a good book in hand you a settle yourself in for some relaxation on your big comfy sofas, how peaceful.
Back into the hallway and another door on the right takes you into the dining room. Stone flagged floor and another fireplace make for the ideal setting for your big table and chairs.
Sunday dinners are a firm favourite in here, once you have opened the pair of French doors through to the kitchen, your nearest and dearest together, it is a real family affair, and everyone can get involved with potato peeling and wine pouring! You can hear the chatter and laughter ringing through the house.
The kitchen offers you everything you need and more with the range style oven and integrated appliances it is modern and traditional all rolled into one. With lots of cupboard space it is easy to keep tidy as everything has its place. Even washing up is enjoyable here, the ceramic sink is placed conveniently below a window overlooking the private walled garden.
Back into the hallway and the ground floor bathroom is tucked away behind the stairs, useful for visiting guests and residents alike, complete with a roll top bath which fits very well with the home.
Heading upstairs the grand staircase is met with a door of stained glass, another nod to the rich tapestry that creates the history of this home, through the door is the house bathroom and a bedroom.
The bedroom is up a few steps and looks out to the back of the home and would comfortably fit a double bed.
The bathroom with a second roll top bath in the home makes for the place to retreat to after a long day's hike. Some bubbles and a glass of wine and you are set for a long restorative soak. The original double wooden doors lead out to the back garden if you enjoy a bath with an alfresco feel!
Back out to the landing and the stairs continue up to the remaining three principal bedrooms.
The largest is to the front left and boasts a triple set of windows with views that take hours of your time just staring out, every time you look it is a different view and you couldn't wish for a better place to wake up! Complete with fireplace and high ceilings, this room does not fail to impress.
The next bedroom is also at the front and is another large double room with double windows enjoying the same amazing views. Whoever stays here, guest or resident will love it.
The last bedroom looks out to Silver St and Mount Calva and is a further large double room and continuing the generous proportions you have come to expect with this home. Once furnished with a plush bed and accessories it will delight every occupant!
Have a wander outside to the private walled garden, paved for convenience and more than enough to enjoy some private outdoor space and enjoy dining outside on warmer days and there is room for a hot tub if you have a fancy for one.
A fantastic home to enjoy your very own piece of history in the most delightful of settings!
