Thames View, Langdon Hills, SS16

Back on the market due to buyer losing their buyer, this beautiful home in Langdon Hills, right in the centre of the Nature Reserve and Greenbelt.  This property is extremely special, it is all about the outside living, with high end features including automated pergola which has integral lighting as well as blinds on all sides, full spec home office opposite a beautiful pond, gym and hot tub. 

The views are breath-taking, seeing as far as the Kent hills, and the Thames Estuary.  Sitting in the hot tub you can enjoy seeing both cruise ships in the distance and firework displays over Essex, at various times.

Four bedroom house with 2.5 bathrooms, double plot size which has been lovingly cared for with no expense spared on a plot just under an acre.

Situated down a private road, you have wonderful privacy in this magical haven.  Must be viewed to appreciate the feeling!

The garden - the main event!

With just under an acre of space, it's hard to know where to start with describing this amazing garden - this property is all about outdoor living - it starts with the large patio surrounding the house, south facing with hot tub, palm trees, space for an outdoor kitchen (with outside electrical points in all the right areas!). Three outbuildings as such; a home office, gym & den/games room with utility room. You could become obsessed with the views. The patio has an automated pergola with roof shade that protects the lounge/dining area for the full force of the sun in the summer, keeping it nice & cool. The sides of the pergola can be individually lowered too, and it has integral lighting - no expense has been spared. The bi-folding doors from the lounge open inwards so you don't lose any space from the patio. There is a large pond currently housing the most wonderful carp. The palm trees by the hot tub are over 20 years old, they flower every year and give off a smell of jasmine - adding to the enjoyment! At the lower end of the garden there is another really large pond, and beyond a more natural area with zip line and treehouse along with a huge shed. The owner is happy to leave the two mowers (push & sit on). As Spring arrives this area is flooded with wild primroses. The bedding areas are well stocked and maintained along with accent lighting with low voltage bulbs set on dawn to dusk sensors. Back up by the house is a side gate leading to the front driveway and a mature fig tree that yields approximately 14 kilos of figs each year.
