Penwith Cottage offers the prospective purchaser the opportunity to refurbish or redevelop (subject to planning permission) this family home, nestled amongst glorious countryside on the fringes of highly desirable Haslemere.

The existing accommodation comprises a porch opening into the double-height entrance hall with full height sash window, stairway and cloakroom with the main living area located on the first floor, allowing full enjoyment of the surrounding views.
