Escape to the country. Welcome to Longfield House in Newby, an impressive country house, in private grounds of approx. 1.7 acres, with stunning open views across the gardens and surrounding fields. Equally suited to a classic English country interior or a contemporary one, here you can just move in or unleash your design flair and create a forever home, perfect for the way you live. With family at the forefront, this residence offers spacious and versatile accommodation (which has to be seen to be truly appreciated).

There is also a stylish, two storey, guest suite (accessed from the main house and from its own patio doors), with one en-suite double bedroom, living room and dining kitchen, making it ideal also for multi-generational living.

The approach is grand and perfectly in keeping, with wrought iron gates leading you to an impressive driveway – surrounded by mature trees and generous lawns. The west facing rear garden has a lawn that seemingly goes on forever, giving the house its name, and joining onto open fields.

The location is perfect for commuting and enjoying all that this amazing area has to offer. Arguably Longfield House provides the best of all worlds. It is a rare find and Kathryn Barr Estate Agents are so pleased to add it to their portfolio of fine country houses.
