2 Langley Hall - Flipbook - Page 4
DESCRIPTION
Built during the 1600’s, this wonderfully preserved
historic residence in the village of Langley may be high
on drama yet is the most welcoming and comfortable
home. Lived in and loved by the same family for over
39 years, it is the first time this central portion of
Langley Hall has been available for sale. Divided into
three homes since the early 19th-century, what makes
this 2,638 sq ft home especially attractive is the grand
carved staircase of the original hall and for anyone into
symmetry, the middlemost garden views. In fact, it is
the only house of this Grade II-listed Hall with direct
access to the grounds, reached through what now exists
as the most beautiful drawing room.
Substantial restoration has kept the building in full
glory. Regency-inspired hand painted striped walls
and a soft, modern palette runs throughout. The warm
neutrals and pale greens work with both the elegant
cornicing and carved pillared doorways with fanlights
in wood. A home to thrive and live in, the classic
decoration makes the period features more sculptural
and striking. Divided over three floors with the drawing
room and extended kitchen plus dining room at ground
level, the bedrooms and family bathrooms above,
each room exudes taste and ever so high ceilings. The
principal suite is what would originally have been the
attic and looks out to the formal garden and pond.
