Langley BartonLangley Barton was originally a 5-bay cross-passage house which was then substantially altered in 1628, when owned by Richard Pollard a courtier to Elizabeth I. The house has been subsequently altered and extended at various times to include the attractive, south-facing Georgian front facade. The current owners undertook a wholescale refurbishment of the house and also created the beautiful garden that now surrounds the property. This is only the second time in the past 100 years it has been offered for sale.
The house is Grade II listed and is built of local stone with a slate roof. The position of the house, combined with wide, tall sash windows provide plentiful natural light giving the house a bright and airy feel. Internally the house has retained much of its original character and is configured into two parts, interconnecting at ground and first floor levels, to provide the main portion with three double bedrooms along with a good-sized self-contained two-bedroom annexe. In the principal portion there are three south-facing reception rooms, all with fireplaces. At the rear, with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, are the study and the open plan family room, which is adjacent to the lovely farmhouse-style kitchen - a focal point within the home.
The kitchen and family room face west and have two sets of doors which open out onto the terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units including a central island and a 2-oven oil-fired
AGA and adjacent electric AGA Companion. Upstairs are the master bedroom with its en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The east wing of the house currently comprises a kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room and shower room on the ground floor and two double bedrooms and a further shower room on the first floor. These can easily be incorporated into the main body of the house if required, or alternatively it can be used independently and would be suited for a variety of different uses.
GardenImmediately off the lane is a parking area beside a traditional barn that serves as a garage and machinery store. A York stone path leads to the colonnaded front porch with lawn to either side. Substantial gardens with richly planted borders surround the house with large terraces. There is a long rose-covered pergola and at the rear are the kitchen garden, fruit trees, greenhouse and garden store.
Outbuildings & LandSlightly above the farmhouse and with its own entrance is a courtyard of traditional agricultural buildings comprising a wagon house, barn incorporating six loose boxes an ancient stone barn with adjoining fodder barn. A further entrance leads to a mixed apple orchard and additional agricultural buildings around an extensive yard. These comprise a cob and stone threshing barn with hay store and workshop, milking parlour and a small barn.
Behind and below the house and buildings is the land, comprising two large fields bordered by an attractive small river. In all there are just over 13 acres and the land is suitable for both livestock and amenity purposes.
