LONGCROSS £895,000
KT16 0DU 
In a unique setting - just a few minutes drive from both
Sunningdale and Virginia Water, this period house has been the
home of a well-regarded local developer for many years.
Its location, at the end of a long drive gives immense privacy,
something to be highly prized; the accommodation of the house
is also rather unusual, having been lovingly restored.
The gardens are secluded, there's garage and lots of parking,
small patios, expansive lawns and a backdrop of trees. It is hard
to find convenience and space with large rooms and period style
all in one place. But here it is in lovely Longcross.
