Property description

Standing in a quiet location along Lower Broad Oak Road, Longmead is a particularly attractive detached period house, built we are told in 1910 with various later extensions, providing a charming family sized house, but not too large for retirement, all surrounded by private, mature, level and fully enclosed grounds amounting to approximately 1.08 acres.



The accommodation includes a hall, large dining room, spacious sitting room (both reception rooms have attractive period fireplaces), conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room with gas fired Aga, cloakroom and utility, all on the ground floor.



On the first floor are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, all windows enjoying pleasant outlooks over the surrounding gardens. E house has a gas fired central heating system.



There is vehicular access from both Lower Broad Oak Road and Hawkins Lane, thus providing an "in and out" drive which leads to the house and the detached double garage together with plenty of parking and turning space.



The grounds are a special feature of Longmead, very mature and extremely well stocked with a wide variety of Rhododendrons, Hydrangeas, Acers, plants, bulbs, mature trees, shrubs and bushes. There is a large pond, gravelled drive and useful storage areas for logs, composting, bonfires etc and various outbuildings.





In all this a house of character, filled with some lovely features and offering plenty of scope for various upgrading of the fixtures and fittings, and re-decoration if required



West Hill is an appealing and individual village with a mini-supermarket at its heart which is open long hours and includes a post office.
