7 bedroom detached house

Penylan Farm is believed to have been built in the late 16th century and around 1670 it was heightened and enlarged to its current shape. At this time, it was given the impressive three-storey porch and rear staircase. There are many superb period features including a heavy studded oak main entrance door, a cross passage hall, a large stone floor to ceiling fireplace with an enormous stone lintel and bread oven. There is also a further smaller fireplace with a monolith surround, stone mullion windows, chamfered beamed ceilings and a wide easy staircase rises to the first and second floors. There is a vaulted cellar with wine bins and flagstone floor, beneath the kitchen/breakfast room which is accessed externally.

The present owner purchased the property in 2018 when it was in need of considerable modernisation. Carefully preserving all period features, Penylan Farm has been most attractively renovated to a house of immense charm with a friendly atmosphere. Improvements include rewiring, re-plumbing, a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, installation of bathroom and shower rooms and complete redecoration. All rooms are well proportioned and have a comfortable ceiling height.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. The sitting and family room are particularly full of character with open fireplaces and an abundance of period features. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an Aga and the dining room has an internal window with stone surround. The south facing garden room is accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room and the family room.

The wide-turning staircase rises to the first floor with a landing area, around which the bedrooms are arranged. The principal bedroom has an en-suite and walk-in shower room. An inner landing, which interconnects with the principal bedroom, is currently used as an office but with minor alteration, could become an en-suite dressing room. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, one with en-suite shower room and one with en suite dressing room, and a family bath/shower room.

The staircase continues to the second floor with landing/kitchenette, Belfast sink unit and integrated fridge. There are three further bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom and one with en-suite shower room. This is a great space and offers flexibility in its use as it could be used as a self contained area for the property.

It is approached over a long private drive which gives access to a large parking area for several cars beside the house. Behind the house is an oak frame open fronted store, with an adjoining lock up store, and a further large timber implement/garden store.

The garden, which adjoins farmland and has superb views, is low maintenance and surrounds the house to the south, north and west. It is principally laid to lawn intersected with pathways. There are mature trees, and planted borders. There is also a designated area for a kitchen garden.
