A beautiful, impressive Grade II listed Georgian family home, benefitting from a lovely garden and paddock with views across open countryside and sits in its own plot of approximately 2.048 acres
Longcross House
Longcross House is a distinguished Grade II listed family home, beautifully positioned on the edge of Headley. Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the house sits elegantly within its plot, surrounded by mature gardens, a paddock, and a tennis court at the rear.
Dating back to the late 18th century, the property showcases period charm complemented by thoughtful additions made in the late 20th century. It has been a much-loved family home since 1973.
The ground floor opens with an impressive reception hall, setting the tone for the rest of the property. There are three elegant reception rooms: a striking drawing room with an open fireplace and French doors leading to the formal gardens; a cosy family room again with an open fireplace; and a study. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, enjoying views across the rear garden.
Practical spaces include a generous boot room with ample storage, a separate utility room, and a cloakroom.
Upstairs, the luxurious principal suite comprises a spacious bedroom, dressing room, and en suite bathroom. Four further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 2.048 acres. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature planting and a paddock beyond. A York stone terrace wraps around the rear and side of the house, providing a perfect setting for al fresco dining. To the rear of the garden lies a tennis court, along with characterful brick-built stables now used for storage.
