An exceptional and beautifully presented family house, set well
back from the road in a private, rural position within grounds
extending to over one acre.

Description

The accommodation is arranged over two principal floors with the addition of extensive leisure and lifestyle space, including a basement games and cinema room, a gym, and an impressive outdoor kitchen and entertaining area. The layout offers excellent versatility and could easily accommodate those wishing to work from home or create independent living space.

Of particular note is the potential annexe arrangement.

The office and ground floor bedroom benefit from external access and could be utilised as a self-contained annexe, while still leaving generous and well-balanced living accommodation within the main house.

In total, the property provides six bedrooms, with the sixth within the annexe area, making it an ideal home for larger families or those who enjoy hosting guests. Internally, the house is immaculate throughout, reflecting the high standard of refurbishment and attention to detail.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, dining room, formal sitting room, study, family room or annexe bedroom, a substantial open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, games room, gym or home office, and two bathrooms. To the first floor are five double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with Juliet balcony and large en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, Penvale is approached via gated access to a gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a double carport. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and hedging, ensuring privacy from the road. Side access leads to the rear garden which is, like the house, maintained to an immaculate standard. A wide paved terrace with retaining wall and steps provides an ideal space for outdoor dining, leading to extensive lawned gardens backing onto open countryside and enjoying far-reaching rural views.

A standout feature of the property is the bespoke outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, extending to approximately 561 sq ft. This custom-built, vaulted and covered space incorporates seating, a built-in fire, power supply, refrigeration, and cooking facilities, creating a superb all-season area for entertaining and family gatherings.

The total built-up area extends to approximately 6,287 sq ft, offering an impressive blend of living, leisure, and entertaining space.
