A family treasure since 1937
Having been in the Playne family since 1937, Longfords is much more than a property; it's the heart of their story. Owner, Fenella, loves to share her beautiful home with others. It all started with her two daughters' weddings – Lucy and Sarah. These special occasions sparked the beginning of bringing many more families together, weaving their own chapters into the story of the family's history at this stunning venue.
