Langford, Lechlade GL7

Lower Farm House is a most attractive period house, Grade II listed, believed to have been constructed in the early 17th century with later additions during the mid 18th century. The house sits privately towards the edge of the popular Oxfordshire village of Langford, with wonderful, curated gardens, including an ornamental rill, a kitchen garden, and a paddock. There is also a Coach House, currently used as a play/games room, which comprises a reception area, gym, ante room, bathroom and garaging.

The main house comprises an entrance porch, a large reception dining hall and, off this, a sitting room, a snug, and a large study. Doors also lead to the kitchen/breakfast room, utility, pantry, and guest cloakroom, with doors from the kitchen leading into a south-facing “cloister” courtyard. There are six bedrooms over the first and second floors, including a principal and guest suite, and a further family bathroom.

The gardens lie predominantly to the South and East and include a wonderful kitchen garden with greenhouse, formal and informal lawns, a rill and pony paddock.

Lower Farm House sits on the edge of the popular village of Langford, part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which has an array of pretty Cotswold stone-built cottages and farmhouses surrounded by open farmland and countryside. The village is centred around the cricket club, Colston Lawn Tennis Club, and a popular public house, The Bell.
