Seller Insight Langbourne is a truly exceptional family home, modern and glamorous, warm and welcoming. Built in 2000, it offers the epitome of luxurious living. This deceptively spacious house is set behind attractive gates in a peaceful and private position. Laid out over four floors and complete with a leisure suite, cinema and games room. There are so many features to love at Langbourne from the glamour of the Swarovski crystal embedded wallpaper to the warmth of the inglenook fireplace. “When we first viewed the house I knew it would be the perfect family home, it felt safe. I loved the privacy and when I saw the opulent swimming pool I became quite emotional.” said Catherine. “Although the house was very well presented we did decide to make some alterations and we started by improving the overall curb appeal. We wanted to ensure that the frontage was attractive but also low maintenance. There is ample parking, a triple garage and the driveway wraps around the central water feature.” “My favorite room, or rather floor is situated at the top of the house, where we have created an entertainment suite across the whole fourth floor. The New York, movie theatre themed cinema room with bespoke furniture and surround sound is a great place, the whole family love to congregate either here to watch a movie or in the games room for a game of pool.” “The country outlook is idyllic; you can even watch the deer roaming around the surrounding fields. The local area is a tranquil place with plenty of countryside to explore. Umberslade Farm is just a short stroll away and perfect for a brisk walk or a family day out. There are a number of quality pubs and restaurants including the Warwickshire Lad and The Bell all within walking distance from the house. There is a highly regarded junior school with nursery facilities and for the sporting enthusiast there is a tennis club and golf course within easy reach. It is about a 15-minute drive to Solihull, which benefits from a range of amenities including the Touchwood Shopping Centre, and train station, which offers a direct line to London.” These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
