our thoughts

When you walk through the front door of Langham, it's immediately apparent this is a home that has been cherished and treated with respect by the owners. All the hallmarks of a period property are there and the eco-friendly updates make it more efficient than you would expect.

You could spend hours enjoying captivating views whilst sitting in the bay window in the lounge at the front whilst the dining room at the back provides plenty of space for family meals and entertaining with light from windows to two sides. Off the dining room is the kitchen, followed by a separate utility area and ground-floor WC. A cellar provides useful additional storage.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom currently used as a study and the family bathroom. The front principal bedroom is delightful - so bright and airy with extensive fitted wardrobes, a bespoke built-in window seat and far-reaching views of hillside up to Marple Ridge beyond the mature trees.

The second floor adds a further double bedroom, shower room and home office, offering excellent flexibility. The partition wall was designed to be removable, creating the potential for a superb principal suite, studio or generous through-room enjoying natural light from both the north and south elevations, subject to any necessary structural advice and consents.

Outside, the long tiered garden is well maintained and full of interest, with dry-stone walling, raised beds, vegetable-growing areas and useful storage. A gate at the top accesses a ginnel leading to some great walks encompassing farmland, a vineyard, the foothills of the Peak District and views of Kinder Scout- the great outdoors is literally on the doorstep.
