Penhill Road, Great Ellingham

SUMMARY

There is something wonderfully enchanting about this family home. From its cottage-inspired architecture to the exposed timbers within, it has the warmth and character of a home that could have evolved over generations. Yet this distinctive home was built around 2002, offering that sought-after character alongside the comforts and practicality of modern living.

At the heart of the home, a substantial lounge is centred around an impressive exposed-brick inglenook-style fireplace with multi-fuel stove, while the beautifully appointed country-style kitchen/diner combines shaker cabinetry, a large central island and characterful exposed beams. A separate utility and WC provide added convenience. Beyond, the garden room is flooded with natural light from a striking roof lantern, creating a wonderful connection with the garden. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a balcony and en-suite featuring a stunning roll-top bath and separate shower, alongside the family bathroom.

The self-contained annexe adds another exceptional layer of versatility, with its own kitchen, shower room and bedroom/living area above. Whether creating independence for extended family, a private retreat for guests or valuable space for older children, it allows the home to adapt effortlessly.

Beautifully maintained and immaculately presented, the home also embraces modern efficiency, with new double glazing complemented by solar panels with battery storage - bringing contemporary, energy-conscious credentials to its characterful country-home setting.

OUTSIDE

This enviable home occupies an established plot of approx. 0.18 acres. To the front, a gated entrance opens onto a substantial driveway, providing generous parking for numerous vehicles and leading to the double garage with electric roller doors, light and power, where part of the garage has been cleverly adapted to create the self-contained annexe.

The rear garden is a particularly attractive backdrop to the house. A broad paved terrace immediately outside creates a natural setting for summer dining and entertaining, with steps leading onto the main lawn. Mature shrubs, trees and well-stocked borders soften the boundaries and provide colour, while additional seating areas allow different parts of the garden to be enjoyed throughout the day. The result is a garden with enough space to entertain, garden and relax without becoming overwhelming to maintain.
