Accommodation
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the stylish and individual interior found throughout. To the front are two excellent reception rooms: a comfortable sitting room with an attractive fireplace and bay window overlooking the paddock garden and village church in the background with an adjoining garden room flooded with natural light, which enjoys particularly attractive views across the garden. A second versatile reception room is currently utilised as a study and also enjoys a bay window to the front and views

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of Alexandra Lewis cabinetry with marble worktops, integrated appliances to include Miele double fridge freezers, Lacanche oven, Westfield extractor hood and a large central island with breakfast-bar seating, complemented by ample space for a dining table.

Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room together with a ground-floor cloakroom.
The first-floor accommodation offers three generously proportioned double bedrooms, all with glorious views. Bedroom two benefits from its own ensuite shower room. Bedrooms one and three are spacious and are served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with high-quality Heritage sanitaryware, complete with a bath and separate shower, together with an additional large shower room, also with Heritage sanitaryware. The thoughtfully arranged accommodation provides excellent flexibility, perfectly suited to the demands of modern family living and visiting guests alike.
Outside
Langdale House occupies an attractive established plot, with beautifully maintained gardens providing a wonderful backdrop to the house. The principal garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, clipped hedging and established planting creating an excellent degree of privacy and a quintessential village setting. Immediately adjoining the house is a generous terrace, accessed directly from the kitchen and providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A further covered seating area creates another inviting spot from which to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons. Three outhouse provides additional storage space.
To the front and side, a gravelled driveway provides generous off-road parking and leads to a covered carport with an EV charging point. The gardens wrap attractively around the property, with mature boundaries and carefully considered landscaping giving the house a secluded feel despite its convenient village setting. The elevated and aerial photography particularly highlights the property's attractive position within Medbourne and its relationship with the surrounding village landscape. Across the quiet lane, the property's paddock ensures the property view to the front is protected.
