Occupying a private position in one of Langland's most desirable locations, this impressive detached Victorian residence, dating from 1895, combines timeless period character with beautifully curated French country interiors and exceptional future potential.
Approached via a shared private lane, the property enjoys a substantial gravel driveway and courtyard, providing extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds are enclosed by attractive stone walls and gated entrances, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and security.
The property also offers exciting opportunities for future development, including the potential to create direct access from Southward Lane (subject to the necessary permissions), as well as scope for a garage, garden room or a substantial extension by reconfiguring the frontage.Grand EntranceThe welcoming entrance hall immediately impresses with high ceilings and a striking full-height contemporary Gaudí-inspired stained-glass window overlooking the courtyard. The hall flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining area and provides access to the study, grand reception room, ground-floor shower room and garden. Throughout the home, generous proportions and abundant natural light create an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere.French Country Kitchen & Dining RoomAt the heart of the home lies a beautifully handcrafted French farmhouse kitchen featuring intentional distressed cabinetry with authentic patina finishes. The stunning dark blue Brazilian granite worktops, accented with soft sand-coloured veining and distinctive raspberry mineral detailing, provide a truly unique focal point.
The spacious open-plan dining area offers the perfect setting for everyday family life and entertaining, while the utility area is discreetly positioned around the corner off the kitchen. An adjoining external boiler room presents further opportunity to create an enlarged utility or mud room to freshen up after a day down Langland beach or the many coastal walks.
Electric underfloor heating runs throughout the tiled ground floor (excluding the study), with additional underfloor heating installed in all three bathrooms.
A dark blue Rangemaster cooker completes this charming country kitchen.Reception RoomAccessed through an attractive stone archway, the elegant reception room showcases restored Victorian coving, marble-effect flooring and large period-style windows that flood the room with natural light.

There are currently four bedrooms on the first floor, all generously proportioned. Additional scope exists to create a further en-suite to the gold bedroom or a Jack-and-Jill bathroom connecting two of the bedrooms.Versatile Top FloorThe second floor presents enormous potential for further accommodation. Originally a Japanese-inspired design, the infrastructure for water and electrical services is already in place, making conversion significantly easier for further for another en-suite.
