More information about the property
Langdon Court is an exceptional estate, set in four acres of grounds with far-reaching views of rolling countryside. The house was built circa 1577 and rebuilt in 1693. In recent years the building has undergone extensive renovations to create an exceptional home finished to the highest standard in every respect. The current owners have created a beautiful, modern country house, with each room individually decorated to make the home feel distinctive and comfortable.
Magnificent period features are evident throughout the house; high ceilings, large sash windows, hand carved fireplaces and wooden floors contrast with a beautiful pastel colour palette chosen by the internationally renowned designer who owns the house.
The fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s dream. The current owner is an internationally renowned restaurateur who has ensured that it has been finished to the highest professional standard with extensive marble worktops, two ovens, a separate preparation kitchen and a formal dining room. As the owners love to entertain, the property has been designed to offer ample space for entertaining and relaxing, with a media room, library, morning room and sitting room. At the heart of the house is the Palm Court – a unique and exceptional space, painted a vibrant green, with a glass ceiling and original Victorian tiling.
On the first and second floors are sixteen en-suite bedrooms, all boasting freestanding baths, marble floors and large windows overlooking the gardens. The master suite has a large bespoke dressing room with built-in furniture, a freestanding bath and a separate vanity room. The house has further potential for improvement and extension – for example by converting the extensive cellars into a luxury spa or the charming outbuildings into summer houses.
The property was converted into a hotel in 1960 and still has planning permission for this use. The house currently generates income by hosting weddings and private events. It is located in the heart of Devon, just 20 minutes from the seaside town of Plymouth, with regular trains to London, which can be reached in just over three hours.
