House For Sale £1,375,000
Lunga House occupies an enviable position on an expansive plot measuring approximately 0.35 of an acre. Set well back and secluded from the road, with fabulous gardens backing playing fields to the rear, this individual 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom property has been meticulously maintained by the current owners who have also thoughtfully extended the house during their ownership to provide bright, spacious and versatile accommodation of 3699 sq. Ft. In total.
Lunga House is quite an unusual name for a property situated just on the Hertfordshire and Essex borders, more at home you may think north of the border.
Originally designed and built by a Canadian gentleman for himself and his wife in the early 1960's, the house was so named for his wife's love of Lunga, one of the Treshnish Isles in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
Enjoying school trips and many holidays there at a hunting lodge with her family when she was young, the lady of the house could think of nothing better than to call her family home after her happy childhood memories.
Today Lunga House has been carefully cherished by the current vendors for over 33 years and is now looking for new owners to make their own memories there.
