Property description
Rich in history, Belmont has recently undergone a full renovation, transforming what was once a former chapel and newsagents into a stunning family home. Significantly, Belmont marks the birthplace of the Longhorsley Mission, serving as a place of worship for over a century.
This exceptional detached property is nestled in the desirable village of Longhorsley. The location offers excellent transport links and a friendly, vibrant community with a range of amenities, including a country pub/restaurant, village shop, and hall, all surrounded by picturesque countryside.
Upon entering the home, you're greeted by a welcoming hallway featuring a striking handmade oak staircase and an elegant drop-light chandelier. Double oak doors with glass insets lead into a generously sized sitting room, complete with a feature wood-burning stove and brick surround.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and dining area, extending over 12 metres in length. Supplied by B & B Kitchens, it features sleek, handleless cabinetry, granite worktops, and integrated appliances, including a Karinear induction hob, oven, microwave, and Kenwood dishwasher. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, flooding the space with natural light. There's ample storage from the wall and floor units as well as space for a fridge freezer.
Adjoining the kitchen is a well-equipped utility room with additional storage, a freestanding washing machine and dryer, and a sink. Furthermore, there is a plant room and WC to the ground floor.
A ground floor bedroom offers a variety of potential uses, whether as a guest suite, second reception room, home office or gym. This room features an en-suite shower room with a rainfall shower, wall-hung vanity unit, and WC as well as its own access door to the front of the property.
Upstairs, the expansive master suite impresses with vaulted ceilings and a luxury en-suite bathroom, finished with full-height tiling, LED strip lighting, a rainfall shower with black accents, freestanding bath with floor-mounted tap and shower attachment, wall-hung gloss vanity, WC and a Bluetooth-enabled mirror.
The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room with a wall-hung basin and WC. There are two further double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom comprising freestanding bath, separate rainfall shower, wall-hung basin, WC and Bluetooth mirror.
Externally Belmont enjoys a generous garden, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by traditional stone walls. A spacious gravelled area provides ample off-street parking, and an adjoining stone store adds further practical storage.
