THE PROPERTY
Old Langton Hall is a stunning Grade II listed 17th Century part conversion of the original Langton Hall, built by merchant Thomas Stavely in 1666 and later owned by The Spencer Family.
This historic building is beautifully eye catching with its honey hued Northamptonshire iron stone, stone mullion surrounds and crittal windows. The property has undergone extensive renovations during the occupancy by the current owner, an Interior Designer and commissions such as bespoke cabinetry by Alexander Lewis, a Lacanche range cooker, custom finished Perrin and Rowe and Leefroy Brookes brassware, Castrad cast iron radiators, are just some of the quality fixtures and fittings to mention. The kitchen with its four-metre-high ceilings and large roof lantern is a particularly lovely light filled room with vast french doors looking down the english garden to the breathtaking views beyond. The drawing room with its open fire and restored stone fireplace makes for a very welcoming room for a fireside read. The family room in the middle of the house just off the kitchen is a much-loved multi use room for family dinners and movie nights. Wide wood floorboards and tumbled limestone flags laid throughout the ground floor, a good-sized boot room with plenty of room for storing winter coats and boots offers a perfectly practical solution for country living!
TO THE OUTSIDE
Directly off the kitchen is a lovely terrace area which is sheltered by a mature yew hedge and a striking stone wall bordered with well stocked “english garden” planting and a mature wisteria. A feature arched gate leads to the side of the property to a log store area and provides access through a side door to the cloakroom. A character brick path leads you down the garden passed a very old lime tree towards a stunning border and copse beyond containing a number of aged trees including a vast oak and beech. Towards the bottom of the copse, sunsets can be enjoyed from a seating area around a large fire pit. To the front of the property is extensive parking with private EV charging point and double garaging.
