5 bedroom detached house

An older style detached family home with huge potential on mature corner plot within the Wentworth estate.

Description
Five Pennies is a very traditional detached family home of character built by the builder WG Tarrant back in the 1930's which has been extended in the past now providing sizeable family accommodation arranged over two floors. Some features still remain howeve,r such as the panelled walls and original oak herringbone flooring. The sitting room is spacious and has double doors opening onto the rear terrace and there are three more good sized reception rooms. On the first floor is the principal suite comprising walk through wardrobe area as well as a dressing room and full bathroom suite. There is also a further guest suite, 3 more bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds
The property occupies a corner plot which is just over half an acre. This is approached via electrically operated wrought iron gates which open onto a large driveway which in turn leads to the detached double garage which has power, light, eaves storage and personal door to garden. The remainder of the front consists of an area of lawn, mature trees surrounded by a dense hedge of rhododendrons giving you a fair degree of privacy. There is access from either side of the house to the rear garden which comprises sun terrace, an area of level lawn dotted and surrounded by a variety of mature shrubs and trees.N.B. We believe the property could be substantially extended further or indeed be replaced by a new dwelling of some 6,000 square feet or so subject to the usual planning consents.
