Alden House is an outstanding classically built Regency property which sits on the outside of the delightful village of Lower Langford near Bristol in Somerset. The property has high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and wonderful architectural embellishments including some very fine cornicing.
Dating back to 1820 the house also features a grand cantilevered staircase and an unusually large kitchen for the period but what really sets it apart is the sensitive restoration and in particular the re-roofing, re-plumbing and the restoration of the sash windows.
