A striking early-1800s detached period home, Penstowe blends original character with large-scale modern living. The main house and linked annex provide flexible accommodation across six double bedrooms, four reception rooms and three bathrooms — ideal for multigenerational living or home-working families.
Set in mature, manicured grounds of approximately 1.75 acres, the plot offers sweeping lawns, shaped hedging, woodland links and a level enclosed lawn suitable for children’s play. Extensive parking, a detached double garage and workshop add practical value, while bifold doors, large windows and reclaimed features create bright, sociable interiors.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, glazing dates from before 2002 and the granite-built walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider if long-term energy efficiency or remote working speed are priorities.
For families seeking space and character within commuting reach, this property balances rural calm with access to Talbot Green, Pontyclun and the M4. The linked annex gives independent accommodation for guests or rental income, while parts of the grounds and outbuildings offer clear scope for further improvement or conversion subject to consents.
