This exceptional property also holds historic significance, proudly bearing a prestigious blue plaque in recognition of renowned playwright, poet, and illustrator Laurence Housman, who once lived here. A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and distinguished home in a sought-after setting.

Accommodation Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a useful vestibule, offering space for cloaks and shoe storage, before stepping into a spacious entrance hall that leads through to the principal living areas. At the heart of the home is a wonderful kitchen/diner, ideal for family living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen offers a range of wall, base, and drawer units, integrated oven and hob, a charming Belfast sink, an island with breakfast bar seating, as well as space for either an undercounter or freestanding fridge/freezer. French doors open out to the garden, creating a living picture and inviting natural light to flood the space. Here there is ample room for a family-sized table and chairs, making it the perfect area for informal dining and gathering. From the kitchen, there is access to a well-equipped utility room, fitted with plumbing for laundry facilities, and a charming garden room beyond — a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy views of the garden. The ground floor further benefits from two well-proportioned bedrooms, making it highly versatile for those seeking single-storey living. Ideal for multigenerational households, these rooms could easily accommodate elderly relatives or visiting family members, providing flexibility and privacy. Alternatively, they could be utilised as a space for a home business or offer potential for conversion into a self-contained annex to generate additional income, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Serving this part of the home is a well-appointed ground floor shower room, comprising a walk-in shower, vanity unit with storage, wash basin, WC, and a heated towel rail for added comfort. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy snug, ideal for use as a reading room, children's playroom, or home office. A generously proportioned sitting room with an attractive bay window offers an elegant and inviting space, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. There is also a convenient cloakroom/WC off the hall.

A staircase rises from the hall to a bright and airy landing, leading to four additional bedrooms. The master bedroom is a standout feature, offering built-in wardrobe space and a beautiful bay window that creates a light-filled, spacious retreat with views out over the garden. The three further bedrooms are all generously sized, providing ideal spaces for family members, guests, or a home office. A useful airing cupboard is located off the landing, offering convenient storage. Completing the first floor is a stylish contemporary shower room, thoughtfully designed to mirror the high-quality finish of the ground floor shower room.

Outside The gardens at Longmeadow are truly exceptional, having been beautifully landscaped to offer a wonderful balance of structure, colour, and open space. Carefully sectioned, the garden provides a variety of areas perfectly suited to a wide range of lifestyles — whether for families, keen gardeners, or those simply seeking a peaceful retreat. A series of formal lawns are interspersed with mature trees, colourful flowering beds, and decorative archways, creating a picturesque setting that frames the property perfectly. Beyond, a well-stocked kitchen garden with raised beds and a greenhouse offers excellent opportunities for those wishing to grow their own produce. There is also a characterful timber-built garden lodge, known as 'The Elbow Room', steeped in history and tucked away amongst the trees and flowering borders — ideal as a studio, hobby room, or simply a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Backing onto open countryside, the garden enjoys wonderful far-reaching views, adding a true sense of space and tranquillity to this special home.
