The inception of Langley House dates back to 1719 when Thomas Lee, renowned for owning Virginia's esteemed Stratford Hall, secured this property through a royal land grant. The name "Langley" pays homage to Lee's ancestral estate in England. Upholding the storied legacy of its surroundings, Langley House stands as a masterpiece that draws inspiration from the grand architectural and design traditions of the 18th century, while embracing a distinct touch of 21st-century style. Situated prominently on a gentle knoll within the exclusive Langley Forest neighborhood, Langley House spans over an acre of land. Elegantly proportioned and meticulously detailed, this extraordinary estate spans 10,000 square feet and radiates an air of sophistication, adorned with lavish, high-end finishes throughout.
