Description
Step into a piece of Penkhull’s history with Canada Cottage — a captivating period home built in 1824, believed to be one of just three surviving properties from this era in the village. Tucked behind mature hedging on the ever-desirable Queens Road, this detached character home feels quietly timeless — yet is just moments from local amenities, schools, and commuter routes. Originally built for a local miller and brewer, Canada Cottage even predates the road it now stands on. Its roots run deep into the village’s past, and throughout the home you’ll find echoes of its early 19th-century origins: from exposed beams and traditional internal doors, to the original fireplaces and charming architectural quirks that can only be found in a home of this age.
The ground floor offers a formal lounge featuring a charming bay window and an open fireplace, creating a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining. Adjacent to this is a second reception room currently used as a snug — a cosy retreat with a welcoming atmosphere and direct access to the fourth double bedroom, making it ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. At the rear of the home lies the standout feature: a spacious, light-filled kitchen and family room, complete with central island, bespoke cabinetry, and a skylight that pours in natural light. But what truly sets this space apart is what lies beneath your feet — the home’s original private water well, carefully uncovered and restored during renovation. Now encased beneath a bespoke glass floor, this remarkable feature connects the past to the present in a way few homes ever can. Lit from below and visible from multiple angles, it’s a conversation piece, a design feature, and a living fragment of history — all in one. From the kitchen area, a utility/laundry room and cloakroom/WC provide practical space to support family living. Upstairs, three further spacious double bedrooms await, each offering plenty of natural light and characterful features. The beautifully styled family bathroom includes a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower, providing a relaxing retreat after a long day. Outside, the property is set within a generous and private mature plot, featuring a welcoming front garden adorned with well-established shrubs and plants that create a sense of seclusion. A secure gated driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles, while two well-maintained lawn areas offer versatile outdoor space for gardening, play, or relaxation. To the side, you’ll discover a beautifully landscaped garden featuring a low-maintenance artificial lawn, a sunny patio seating area ideal for alfresco dining or unwinding with friends, and a charming summerhouse currently housing a hot tub — creating the perfect private retreat for relaxation and enjoyment. The detached double garage offers plenty of space not only for parking but also for use as a workshop, home gym, or additional storage. With twin electric roller doors and good access, it provides excellent versatility to suit a variety of lifestyle needs.
Canada Cottage is far more than a house — it’s a captivating blend of rich local history and timeless charm, thoughtfully preserved and enhanced for modern living. Homes of this character, with such distinctive features and a story that stretches back over two centuries, rarely come to market. This property offers a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Penkhull’s heritage, perfectly suited for those seeking a home with personality, warmth, and undeniable charm.
