Longford Grange is a rare Georgian country residence set within circa 12.7 acres of private grounds, mature woodland and formal lawns. The main house, built in 1820 and Grade II listed, retains high ceilings, original sash windows, fireplaces and an impressive Minton-tiled entrance hall. The Christopher Peters open-plan kitchen with Aga and adjoining utility and butler’s pantry provides a superb contemporary heart for family life and entertaining.
The property includes a self-contained one-bedroom cottage (former coach house), extensive cellars with vaulted chambers, and a full-sized all-weather tennis court. Approved planning permission exists for a state-of-the-art 10-car garage with hidden access and car lift, a rare opportunity for collectors or large households. Panoramic countryside views and quiet rural seclusion are complemented by good commuter links to nearby market towns and private schooling within 30 minutes.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate consent for some works. Broadband in the area is currently slow, and council tax is high (Band G). The estate’s age and scale mean ongoing maintenance and sympathetic conservation are required, though much of the principal accommodation is in refined, usable condition.
This house will suit an established family or buyer seeking a characterful country base with substantial grounds, entertaining spaces and ancillary accommodation. It also offers potential for ancillary income or hobby use (subject to planning), while the recent garage consent adds significant practical and collector appeal.
