Pensax Court has 18th Century origins; it was re-built in around 1840 and extended to create the East Wing in 1882. In the 1980's the Court was divided into 3 properties, two of which were combined in the 1990's to form the current East Wing dwelling, which now occupies the larger part of Pensax Court.
The property has been much improved by the current owners, including restoring the former double height billiard room to create a large kitchen/family room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed original fine timber frame that was previously hidden.
The accommodation is beautifully proportioned throughout and offers an abundance of character with features that include panelled doors, high ceilings, deep moulded cornicing, ceiling roses, deep set windows and heavy traditional radiator covers.
The formal panelled reception hall has a restored herringbone oak parquet floor, an eye-catching wide staircase with ornate cast iron spindles, supporting a wreath handrail rises to the first floor landing.
The principal reception rooms include an elegant drawing room that has an ornate moulded cornice, a wonderful floor to ceiling bay window that incorporates French Doors and a carved, polished marble open fireplace. The sitting room features wall-panelling, solid oak flooring and an open fireplace with a fine surround.
The impressive kitchen/family room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber frame, flagstone flooring that continues into the boot room and a large bay window. The handmade fitted kitchen includes a large island incorporating a breakfast bar, granite worktops and a Belfast sink. Appliances include an electric AGA and dishwasher and there is space an American fridge freezer. There is a fitted utility room with space for a separate washing machine and tumbler dryer, adjacent is a cloakroom.
The extensive cellarage is believed to date back to the 15th century, being part of a former property standing on this same site. Three access points make this vast area extremely useful for storage and offers the potential for future conversion.
On the first floor the large, light and airy principal bedroom is served by a Jack and Jill en suite/family bathroom comprising of a bath and a walk-in double shower. The guest bedroom has the benefit of an en suite shower room and there is a third bedroom and a cloakroom.
