Mill Road, PENPONDS, TR14

In the owners words:
"We purchased The Vicarage in 2005, a property stripped of its character but its potential was obvious. Over the next 18 years we transformed a neglected building into a home that has been a wonderful place to live and for our family to enjoy.
The major renovations including the roof and chimney stacks were the first tasks in 2006, followed by replacing the windows with traditional wooden sashes in 2007. The whole of the inside was stripped back to the granite, we wanted to reinstall the period features and take it back to its former glory. We added a rain water harvesting supply to save water and recently had plans approved to extend, however, our lives take us in a different direction and it's time to sell. Reluctantly!"


Every now and then I have the pleasure of marketing a home that I know my words can never do it justice, The Vicarage the most recent.

A handsome, detached house that has been lovingly restored with an exceptional eye for detail. The current owners have taken a neglected property and transformed it into a quite stunning family home that is set in the highly sought after village of Penponds.

The renovations have been extensive from the roof down, everything was considered from the plaster cornice and ceiling roses to stained glass doors and windows and reinstating fireplaces, this has been a labour love for sure.

The sitting and dining room overlook the front gardens, feature fireplaces with marble surrounds, the sitting room has a recessed stove for those cosy evenings. Oak flooring and ceiling roses feature in both rooms.

The kitchen has travertine tiled flooring, a feature fireplace and stove, range of units and built in storage, window to the rear.

The hallway with turning stairs to the first floor, leads from the vestibule entrance with coloured glass window on the half landing. Cupboard below with pipework for the unfinished underfloor and radiator heating system.
Door to the utility and workshop where there is access to the side courtyrad and to the rear parking. These areas have yet to be completed due to the owners plans for the extension.

First floor are three good doubles and a fourth good single, exposed floorboards and feature fireplaces, good rooms for a family home!

The bathroom is a fantastic room, with a roll top bath, two sinks and wc, a recessed double shower and large airing cupboard, wonderful use of space.

The property sits in a good plot, a cottage garden is directly to the front with a stone wall separating it from the good sized lawn to the front, to one side is a rose covered pergola, to the other a raised seating area with bbq and pizza oven with a hideaway garden beyond.

Ample parking is to the rear, recent plans can be viewed on the council website where the owners designed a double garage with accomodation over to further enhance this beautiful home.

This property is stunning, viewers will undoubtedly be impressed. There are some areas yet to be finished (rooms to the rear and boiler for the heating system) however this home offers a rare opportunity in today's market.
