Langham Hall

published 7 April 2006

These days, you would expect a house of the quality of Langham Hall, at Langham a mile inland from Morston and five miles from Holt to be snapped up within weeks of coming on the market through Sowerbys (01263 710777) and Strutt & Parker (01603 617431) at a guide price of £1.75m.

The handsome, seven-bedroom Regency house, listed Grade II and set in 2.25 acres of delightful gardens, has everything going for it, apart from a degree of uncertainty over the relocation of the nearby glass factory (currently under negotiation with planners).

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
