Summary - PENLEIGH MILL FAIRWOOD ROAD DILTON MARSH WESTBURY BA13 3SN
Grade II listed late 18th‑century house (listing will restrict alterations)
Penleigh Mill is an imposing Grade II‑listed country house set within an exceptional c.10.82‑acre estate. The late 18th‑century residence combines a wealth of period character — exposed beams, feature fireplaces and generous reception rooms — with upgraded practicalities such as double glazing and a modern kitchen with a farmhouse range. The property offers five double bedrooms, principal suite with dressing room and luxury bathroom, plus loft sauna and multiple en suites.
Outside, the grounds are a major asset: landscaped gardens bordering the Biss Brook, a heated swimming pool with retractable cover, decked terrace with sunken hot tub, tennis court, stable block, paddock with barn, fishing lake and lake house currently used as a studio. Gated tree‑lined approach, abundant parking and a detached double garage contribute to easy day‑to‑day living for a large family or those seeking a private country retreat.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is listed (English Heritage listing in 1987) so alterations will be constrained and likely require consent. The size of the site and specialist features — pool, sauna, lake, paddocks and outbuildings — will bring ongoing maintenance and running costs. There is also potential for annexe conversion (studio and summer house) subject to planning permission (STPP), which could suit extended family use or ancillary accommodation.
This property will suit buyers looking for a characterful family home with significant land and leisure amenities who appreciate historic fabric and are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed building and large grounds. With very low local crime, fast broadband and principally good nearby schools, it blends rural tranquillity with practical living essentials.
