Penyard House is a substantial 17th-century former rectory set in approximately 0.4 acres, occupying an elevated position with far-reaching rolling countryside views. The house retains abundant original features — high ceilings, ornate cornices, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and original flooring — offering immediate character and presence for family living and entertaining. A large drawing room, formal dining room, farmhouse kitchen, cellar and five double bedrooms provide flexible living arranged over multiple levels.
Practical outbuildings include a detached stone barn/coach house with planning permission for conversion to a two-bedroom annexe (DC/2011/00299), plus a sizeable garage/workshop and parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds are mature and productive, with terraces, herbaceous borders, fruit trees, greenhouse, summerhouse and level lawned areas that take full advantage of the elevated aspect.
Buyers should be aware of material running and refurbishment considerations typical of an uninsulated historic house. Heating is oil-fired to radiators and the stone walls are assumed to be without insulation, which will affect running costs and may require sympathetic upgrading. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The property’s remoter village location suits those seeking rural life but involves longer journeys for services and schools.
This is a strong prospect for a family seeking a characterful country home with development upside from the coach house conversion, or for buyers prepared to carry out energy-efficiency and modernisation works to unlock long-term comfort and lower running costs.
