House For Sale £800,000
Positioned on the edge of the popular village of Leintwardine, The Long House offers countryside living, while being near all of the amenities that the village presents. There is a shop, mobile post office, two highly rated public houses, petrol station with shop, butchers, Doctors surgery with pharmacy, active village hall community and C of E Primary School and it is close to the well respected Wigmore High School.
Dating back to the mid 19th Century, originally a group of cottages, these properties were converted into one large home in 2000 and further extended in 2008 to create the home you see today.
The imposing stone façade of the property impresses you immediately upon entering through the private gated driveway. You are welcomed into a grand entrance hall with flagstone flooring and exposed beams overhead, and the second staircase to the first floor. To your right is a good sized study with feature fireplace, a great space to work from home.
Beyond the entrance hall is the sitting room with exquisite inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, exposed beamwork and wooden flooring. Due to the size, this room lends itself to many different uses adding to the flexibility of the home. An archway leads you through to one of the best rooms in the home, a substantial dining room which creates an ideal space off the kitchen to entertain many guests. There is a more modern feel to this room while still maintaining character features, stairs rise from here to the first floor, and there is a door giving access to the cellar beneath.
A door from here leads through to the kitchen which is an inviting space built into the conservatory which was added in approximately 2008. A superb bright space with modern fitted kitchen providing ample base and wall units, Rangemaster oven, island and door out to the rear gravel courtyard.
The drawing room spans the entire West side of the home benefitting from double aspect and large glass sliding doors allowing you to take advantage of the views and direct access to the patio entertaining areas. Exposed brickwork, beams and fireplace with tiled hearth and woodburning stove in situ. The downstairs accommodation is completed by a laundry room, WC and further access to the outside.
The wealth of space continues upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Half of the entire first floor is occupied solely by the principal bedroom, which can be accessed via its own staircase. The bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and enjoys Southerly views out over the surrounding countryside. It is made even more special by its own dressing room and en-suite offering bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin. There is also a family bathroom on this level. The top floor houses the fourth double bedroom with large landing and bathroom.
Outside, the gardens offer a number of different areas to enjoy, which are all incredibly private. There are a number of pathways through well stocked herbaceous borders. There is a good sized lawned area with a number of fruit trees, plants and shrubs.
There is ample parking on the gravel drive with modernised double garage and workshop set away from the property with EV charging point. Beyond here is the summer house which enjoys a very rural setting.
Agents Note: we have been advised that the solar panels provide an income of approximately £600 per annum.
