OUR THOUGHTS

Langham is a home that has clearly been cherished over the years, combining the character and proportions of a traditional period property with thoughtful, energy-efficient improvements.

One of its real attractions is the sense of space and separation between the rooms. The beautiful bay-fronted sitting room is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the far-reaching views, whilst the light-filled dining room, with windows to two sides, provides a lovely setting for family meals and entertaining. The adjoining kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, ground-floor WC and useful cellar storage.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom currently used as a study and the family bathroom. The front bedroom is particularly special, with extensive fitted wardrobes, a bespoke window seat and captivating views towards Marple Ridge beyond the mature trees.

The second floor offers another dimension to the accommodation, with a double bedroom, separate home office and shower room. It's an arrangement that lends itself beautifully to home working, visiting guests or older children wanting their own space. For those seeking something different, the dividing partition was designed to be removable, offering the potential to create a spacious principal suite, subject to any necessary checks and consents.

Outside, the established, tiered garden is full of character, with dry-stone walling, raised beds, vegetable-growing areas and a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. A gate at the top leads directly to a network of countryside walks through farmland and towards the foothills of the Peak District, with views extending towards Kinder Scout.

For buyers who appreciate period character, individual living spaces, beautiful views and the countryside on their doorstep, Langham has a great deal to offer.
