The home underwent a full restoration by the current owners, which preserved all the charm of the original property while adding many luxury touches. The accommodation is simply sumptuous, offering expansive reception spaces on the ground floor and four double bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities, on the first floor. Long Park sits in approximately 1.3 acres of grounds, which include a large, gated driveway to the front, a huge, elevated terrace to the rear, and lawns with a paddock below.

Below this are lawned gardens that extend downhill and are bordered by mature trees.
