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.
