Langdon Court, Adam's Lane, Plymouth, Down Thomas PL9, United Kingdom

Description

Langdon Court is an exceptional Grade II* house set on ten acres with far reaching views of the rolling countryside. With a formal walled garden, further mature gardens, a private lake and sixteen bedrooms, the property is undoubtedly one of the finest turn-key properties on the market in South West England. The house was built in circa 1577 and was remodelled in 1693. Over the past few years the building has undergone extensive renovations to create an exceptional home finished to the highest standard throughout. The current owners have created a beautiful, modern country house with each room being individually styled to create a home steeped in character and comfort.

Grand period features are found throughout the home; high ceilings, large sash windows, hand-carved fireplaces and wooden floors contrast with the beautiful colour palette of pastel hues hand picked by internationally renowned designer who owns the home.

The fully-fitted kitchen is every chef’s dream. The current owner is an internationally renowned restaurateur who has ensured it has been completed to the highest professional standard with extensive marble countertop space, two ovens, a separate prep kitchen and a formal dining room. Keen hosts, the property has been curated to ensure there is ample space to entertain, but also to unwind, with a media room, library, morning room and drawing room. At the centre of the home you will find the Palm Court, an exceptional and unique space which is painted in a vibrant green with a glass ceiling and original Victorian tiled floors.

There are sixteen ensuite bedrooms over the first and second floors which boast freestanding baths, marble floors and large windows which overlook the grounds. The principal suite features a large walk-in wardrobe with bespoke cabinetry and a freestanding bath, and a separate beauty room.

The house has further potential for improvement and expansion by converting the extensive cellars into a luxurious spa and the pretty outbuildings into summer houses.

In 1960 the property was converted into a hotel, and still has planning permission to use it as such. Currently the home generates an income from hosting weddings, private events and photoshoots.

Located in the heart of Devon, Langdon Court is 20 minutes from the seaside city of Plymouth where regular trains travel to London which can be reached in just over three hours.
