Sophie Wysock-Wright [email protected] 01444 446000 Description Longacre is a superbly appointed, contemporary-style family home, presenting all the aspirational qualities of modern family living and with spacious accommodation totalling over nearly 3,900sq ft. Dating from the 1960s, in 2003 the current owners appointed local architect Lap Chan of Morgan Carn Architects to re-model the property, adding a substantial extension and completely renovating it in the process.
The works were completed in 2004 to an exacting specification. There are high levels of insulation and VELFAC double glazed windows throughout, and partial under floor heating offering superior comfort. The spacious and flowing spaces are suffused with light from a generous use of glass, including full height windows in the reception rooms and kitchen/dining room, and stunning double height arched windows in the two first floor bedrooms
The internal accommodation at Longacre is spectacular. The accompanying floor plans give an excellent overview of the full extent of the accommodation, though there are many points of further note:
