DESCRIPTION

Langleys is a delightful period family house which is believed to date from the 17th Century with a substantial extension in 2001. It is set within enchanting riverside gardens beside the upper reaches over the River Wylye and also has a natural river fed lake. The current owners added an attractive brick & stone wing to the south in 2001, creating a pretty façade as you arrive giving a new hallway, drawing room, breakfast room linked with the kitchen and larger utility room. The reception rooms are of a generous size with charming inglenook and jetmaster fires, many being double aspect with lovely views. The kitchen is in heart of the house with bespoke wooden cabinetry, an oil-fired Aga, separate double ovens, hob and integrated dishwasher. At the northern end of the ground floor is a useful 5th bedroom and bathroom which could easily be used for guests, nanny or as an annex. The house benefits from two staircases one within the old part of the house and the other in recent wing. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (3 of which are en-suite). All the bedrooms are dual or triple aspect.
