The property has recently undergone an extensive renovation, including the renewal of all services, replastering of all internal walls and ceilings, new hardwood doors and windows with high performance sealed unit glazing, new gas-fired central heating, new insulation for all external walls and the roof, period radiators installed throughout, new bathrooms and a bespoke kitchen.
A tiled pathway, typical of this type of home, leads you to the part-glazed front door and into the entrance hall, which boasts original mosaic flooring.
From here, the lounge occupies the front portion of the house. Formerly two rooms, this impressive open space features a bay window to the front aspect and a fireplace with a red brick surround, a pamment stone hearth and a newly installed Morsø wood burning stove.
To the rear is a period fireplace with tiled hearth and French doors to the courtyard garden. The floor in this room has recently been carpeted with natural seagrass.
At the end of the entrance hall is the “beautifully proportioned” dining room, which is fitted with pamment tiled flooring and French doors to the courtyard. There is another, newly installed Morsø wood burning stove within a recess in here, too.
Approached through an archway, the bespoke kitchen also has pamment flooring with underfloor heating, as well as a vaulted roof. It is fitted with bespoke shaker-style units with lighting and granite worktops, an inset five-ring range-style cooker with extractor hood (both available by separate agreement), a double bowl ceramic sink and space for a refrigerator.
The adjoining utility also comes with underfloor heating and bespoke units with granite tops, plus an inset ceramic sink, and an integrated dishwasher and washing machine.
Completing the ground floor is a cloak room with part panelled walls, a low-level WC, corner wash basin and underfloor heating.
Two of Penrith’s four bedrooms are located on the first floor, including the principal bedroom, formerly two rooms, which has a wide bay window to the front, a period fireplace and a dressing area.
The other bedroom also has a period fireplace, as well as fitted wardrobes and cupboards.
These bedrooms are served by a luxurious, re-fitted family bathroom, featuring a stylish rain shower with open glazed tray, freestanding slipper bath with central mixer and shower attachment, WC and wash basin.
On the second floor, the remaining two bedrooms have stripped wood flooring and period fireplaces. One also has a beautiful arched window to the front aspect. They share a shower room with a mixer shower, wash basin and low-level WC.
