Large Grade II listed family house with gardens, garage and no chain.
Approximately 2,500 sq ft across two floors, four double bedrooms
A handsome Grade II listed village house offering unexpectedly generous living space and large, sunny gardens. Penare House extends to about 2,500 sq ft with four double bedrooms (master en-suite), three reception rooms, a conservatory and a kitchen with an Aga — all arranged over two floors. The layout and room sizes suit family life, entertaining and home-working, while the conservatory and terrace give a strong indoor–outdoor flow to the private, level rear garden.
The house retains many period features — sash windows, exposed beams, flagstone floors and inglenook fireplaces — presented to a high standard. Practical benefits include a detached garage and workshop with power, vacant possession and no onward chain, together with very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note material constraints tied to the property’s age and listed status. The stone walls are likely uninsulated, glazing is secondary, and heating is by oil boiler and radiators; the electrical and heating systems have not been tested. Any significant alterations, extension or vehicular access changes would need listed-building consents and planning approval, which may limit easy adaptation or expansion. The mid-terrace setting and neighbouring properties also restrict outward development.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a characterful village residence with generous interiors and usable gardens who are comfortable managing the practicalities of an older listed building — routine maintenance, higher-energy running costs from oil heating and possible conservationsensitive repairs. For families, it offers convenient village amenities and nearby schools; for those valuing character and scale in a Roseland-adjacent location, it presents a rare, chain-free opportunity.
