Set on a mature 0.72-acre plot on Langley Upper Green, this detached period cottage offers almost 2,500 sqft of versatile family accommodation and direct open countryside views. The house combines traditional character—exposed timber framing, an oak-framed porch and original fireplaces—with a bespoke handmade kitchen and generous reception rooms for everyday family life and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a large garage block with an adjoining workshop (significant scope for conversion subject to planning), a cellar for storage, and a private paved terrace opening onto lawn with mature trees. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating; double glazing is already installed but dates from before 2002. The timber-frame walls have additional insulation.
The setting suits families seeking space, privacy and good local schools while remaining in a rural village community with very low crime and fast broadband. Note the property’s age and construction mean some systems and finishes may benefit from updating, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Any conversion of outbuildings will require the necessary approvals.
