Penlands House & Barns

Occupying a peaceful, rural location not far from the market town of Hadleigh, Penlands is an impressive and spacious family home which was built in the 1930’s and has since been extended and modernised.

On entering the house, a hall leads to the extensive downstairs accommodation comprising a study area, sitting room with wood effect floor and log burner, and doors to a conservatory. Beyond lies the formal dining room and a games room which lead to the kitchen which is comprehensively fitted with various base and eye level units with solid wood worktops, butler sink and integrated appliances such as dishwasher, triple Neff oven and five ring induction hob, and a Miele coffee machine. An inner hall leads through to a walk- in larder and the utility/boot room providing further base and eyelevel units with solid wood worktops and and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Adjacent is the downstairs shower room, and a door providing access to the double garage with electric doors.

On the first floor the roomy and airy accommodation continues by offering five bedrooms, a dressing room, and four bathrooms with ample storage areas throughout. A balcony from bedroom one provides stunning far reaching countryside views.

Outside, the property is approached via electric double gates, with ample off-road parking to the front and side of the property with an integral double garage. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a sun terrace and seating area to the south.
