Description
Winpenny last changed hands in 1998, and since then the owners have carefully and sympathetically cherished this beautiful and elegant home, ensuring its character and integrity have been retained both inside and out. The ground floor offers an abundance of versatile living space, with all rooms enjoying delightful views over the gardens.
There is a choice of five separate reception rooms, together with a principal kitchen, a secondary kitchen, and a utility room, providing excellent scope for multigenerational living. A cellar further enhances the accommodation, offering valuable additional space.
The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, each enjoying views over the beautiful gardens.
The principal suite is a true highlight, offering an exceptional sense of space with its large walk-in dressing room and a luxurious bathroom complete with separate bath and shower. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while bedrooms three, four, and five each have their own distinctive character. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a well-appointed family bathroom, ensuring both comfort and convenience.
STEP OUTSIDE
Double gates open into the private enclosed grounds that wrap around Winpenny, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion. A driveway leads to a double carport with additional parking conveniently located close to the house.
Behind the carport, steps rise to a detached stone barn which has been carefully maintained; part of the barn is currently arranged as a workshop with power and lighting, while the remaining section retains its original stable stalls. A loft ladder gives access to a spacious first-floor room with a window, offering excellent potential for a variety of future uses (subject to the necessary consents).
The gardens are equally impressive, with a large rear lawn framed by mature trees, shrubs, and colourful borders, alongside a patio terrace perfect for relaxing and entertaining. To the front, a formal landscaped garden is set out in terraces with stone retaining walls and a fish pond. Careful planting of mature trees provides natural screening, ensuring both beauty and privacy throughout the grounds.
