Constructed in 1820, Longford Grange is a striking former rectory that boasts significant architectural heritage and historical value as a Grade II listed Georgian residence. This expansive country house, with an impressive 7431 sqft of living space set within approximately 12.7 acres of lush grounds, offers considerable potential for renovation and investment. The property previously supported equestrian activities, with existing planning permission for garaging that could be adapted to accommodate other lifestyle projects or development options.
Upon entry through the prominent semi-circular Georgian doorway, one is greeted by a grand reception hall featuring original Minton tiled flooring and an elegant staircase that speaks to the home's historical grandeur. The ground floor also hosts two generously-sized reception rooms that showcase classic Georgian design, ideal for both formal gatherings and intimate evenings.
The heart of the home lies in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, equipped with bespoke cabinetry from Christopher Peters and complemented by a substantial electric Aga. This space represents a harmonious blend of period charm and modern living but may benefit from updates to meet contemporary standards.
On the upper level, five spacious double bedrooms await — each retaining original features and framed by beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The principal suite includes a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom designed for relaxation. Additional accommodation includes a separate self-contained cottage at the rear, originally built as a coach house, which holds potential for guest accommodation or rental income opportunities.
The extensive grounds are complemented by mature landscaping, including all-weather tennis facilities and areas conducive to equestrian pursuits, subject to permissions. The property’s location within a desirable conservation area enhances its appeal for both residential enjoyment and potential investment returns.
Longford Grange presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to restore a historic property while capitalising on its unique features and expansive land.
