Situated just moments from Epsom College and within easy reach of Epsom's numerous highly sought-after schools, shops, restaurants, Longdown House is a handsome, detached late-Georgian house built in 1827. The owners have transformed it into a contemporary and high specification family home whilst retaining many of its period features and character. Paying a great deal of attention to quality and finish, the main house extends to over 4000 square feet and is mostly arranged over two floors, with a games or cinema room in the basement. The ground floor offers superb living space with a dual-aspect sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows and bi-folding doors opening onto the patio which flood the room with light, an adjoining dining room with a large brick fireplace, a study and a family room, each with wood-burning stoves. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a high specification kitchen featuring Miele appliances, a utility room, and a coat and boot room leading to a guest WC. This living space is ideal for large gatherings and family occasions but also allows everyone to escape and enjoy their own space.
The bedrooms are laid out across the upper floor of the house with one having an ensuite shower in addition to two bathrooms, one of which is finished to a luxurious standard. Whilst the house has been modernised to a very high standard, one can enjoy many period features including original flagstone flooring, wooden flooring, large windows and shutters. The house is wonderfully bright and airy and is ideal for anyone who loves to entertain in a property which clearly has a real 'wow' factor.
Outside
Approached via a gravel carriage driveway which allows for parking numerous vehicles, the house is screened from the road by trees and hedges. There's a separate garage with a mezzanine storage area and workshop, and a fabulous rear garden which is bordered by many tall trees which make it very private and secure, and which backs onto fields beyond the wooded section. There are various well-stocked flowerbeds as well as fruit, herbs and vegetables growing, and a heated swimming pool to one side as well as a summer house where one can go to relax. A full width patio spans the house and is ideal for barbeques and outdoor entertaining, while a secluded side garden makes the perfect spot to enjoy the sun all afternoon and well into the evening. Finally, 51 ¼ is a detached 1 bedroom flint and brick-built annex which is ideal for guest or teenagers wanting their own space.
pSituation
The house is located near the junction of Longdown Lane North and College Road, moments from the entrance of the highly sought-after Epsom College. College Road runs directly into Epsom town centre, ideal for the many shops and restaurants that the area has to offer as well as the train station which has direct routes into London within 35 minutes, or there are alternate train routes into Victoria from both Epsom Downs and Ewell East. The green open spaces of both Epsom Downs and Rosebery Park are within easy reach, as are various highly-sought after schools such as St. Martins, Rosebery, Glyn and Epsom College to name but a few.
