Description
ABOUT PANVILLE
Originally built circa 1860 as a private residence but in the past was also used as a school. We understand that it was split into 2 in the early 1900s with this section of the building offering the more grand frontage. Our client purchased the property in 2021 – it had been the home of a family friend since the 1950s – and has carried out extensive renovation to the property since then. The property is offered for sale due to a change of circumstance and some further works – largely to the outside space are still required.
Great care has been taken to retain the properties many original features, complimenting them with high quality modern fittings and decorating the key rooms with William Morris print wallpaper to reflect the Victorian period.
Stone steps lead up to the front entrance door which opens into the impressive hallway with its original spindle staircase and high coved ceiling. To either side of the hall, there are 2 reception rooms which also feature high ceilings. The room currently used as a dining room has large bay window to the front and a chimney breast with stone surround and double sided log burning stove which is open to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of modern shaker style units and a large central island. Also on the ground floor, there is a utility room and downstairs wc.
The first floor landing features a balustrade around the stairs and an etched glass light to the ceiling providing natural light to this area. There are 3 double bedrooms and a single bedroom / study on this floor. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and the second bedroom has an en-suite wc. There is also a house bathroom which has quality modern fittings in the traditional style.
A further bedroom is located in part of the attic space, there is also a room within the basement which could meet a variety of uses -this has its own external access door and en-suite bathroom.
As part of the comprehensive renovation, the property has been rewired throughout and features a Cat 5 ethernet cabling to the main living and bedrooms. There is an app controlled Acos security system, cctv and also programmable remote-controlled blinds to the 2 reception rooms. It has a central heating system with separate boilers serving the upper and lower floors – many of the rooms feature cast iron column radiators.
Great care has been taken to preserve the original high coved ceilings, architraves and window surrounds. The majority of the windows have been replaced with bespoke hardwood sash style windows.
Externally, there are generous grounds to the front and side of the house. A gateway from Wessenden Head Road leads to a generous parking area in front of the house. This leads to a detached stone built garage. At the side of the house there is a large lawned garden area with stone paved seating area. There is also a partially refurbished outbuilding at the head of the garden which offers the scope to be completed for a variety of uses. Landscaping works and surfacing of the driveway are also still required.
