Description

NEW PRICE - An impressive country house with distant views, farmland, woodland and extensive equestrian facilities

Langdale Hall is a fine country house situated only 3 miles from the A1(M) just north of Scotch Corner. The house is situated close to the
North Yorkshire/County Durham border and views from the property spread out over stunning countryside in the heart of the
Zetland Hunt country.

The house is approached along a long driveway to a large set of stone gate piers with electric gates. There is a large raised gravel
terrace and stone ballustrading along the northern elevation which provides an immediately impressive arrival at the property.

The entrance portico provides access to the large entrance hall, from which views over the gardens can be enjoyed. There are three large
reception rooms on the ground floor including a wonderful drawing room, a panelled dining room, sitting room and play room. In addition, the conservatory runs along part of the southern elevation of the property and is filled with a mass of natural light throughout the year.

The kitchen/ breakfast room is positioned in the south eastern corner of the house and has been recently fitted to a high specification, with a modern range of floor and wall units with oak
surfaces, surrounding a cream Aga. There is a full compliment of integrated appliances. The kitchen extends into part of the conservatory where a breakfast area has stunning views over the gardens.

The latest addition to Langdale Hall is the indoor pool complex which has been built to exacting standards. There are five sets of French doors from the swimming pool into the gardens which in the summer months can be opened to create a superb area for entertaining. There is a Jacuzzi, sauna and wet room adjacent to the
stunning swimming pool. The swimming pool is heated from a ground source heat pump to minimise fuel consumption.

The first floor accommodation is accessed from the principal staircase and a long landing which spreads along the majority of the width of the house. The master bedroom suite is a
particularly fine bedroom with beautiful proportions, large sash windows overlooking the gardens as well as an open fireplace. There is a dressing room and bathroom adjacent. The main guest bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and in addition there are four further bedrooms and two further bathrooms in the main part of the house.

Situation

The property is only 8 miles from Darlington which offers a direct train service to London Kings Cross in approximately 2 hours 20 minutes. The centres of Teesside, Middlesbrough and the pretty Georgian town of Richmond are also within close proximity. The
A1 provides fast access north to Newcastle and the borders as well as south to York, Leeds and Harrogate, the A66 joins the A1 at Scotch Corner and leads west towards Carlisle and the west coast.

Outside

Externally, Langdale Hall benefits from a superb range of facilities. Surrounding the house are stunning gardens and grounds which have been beautifully planned and improved over the years. The main lawns lie to the south of the house and immaculate clipped hedges create formal areas and complement the house well. The hard tennis court is to the south east of the house and is presented in good order.

The formal lawns lead over a pretty bridge into the woodland garden which has been opened out in recent years to create stunning views from the house. To the south west is a walled garden and vegetable garden which is totally private and secluded. Adjacent to the walled garden is a set of six loose boxes and a large feed store.

The property is well equipped for the equestrian buyer with an uphill summer and all weather gallop which runs up the western boundary of the property. Within the woodland and fields to the south is a cross country course which has been well planned around the estate and includes a water jump, numerous hurdles and gallops.

Towards the south eastern end of the estate is the Stanwick Hall reservoir which is a haven for wildlife and provides many opportunities for fishing and duck shooting.
