Penylan Hall

Penylan Hall is an outstanding country house standing in beautiful gardens and parkland, with magnificent views.

Whilst primarily Georgian, it was greatly extended in the Regency period, drawing upon Italianate Villa style. Renovated and restored throughout to an exceptional standard, the house offers superb interior designed, light and attractive accommodation complementing its fine period features.

Penylan Hall is a wonderful well centred house for both family living and larger scale entertaining. Both elegant and comfortable, the principal reception rooms which lead off the impressive hall, have high moulded ceilings, original fireplaces and are lit by deep sash windows framing the far-reaching views. Of particular note is the elegant, south facing drawing room which is found within the Georgian wing. A Regency garden room connects the dining and morning rooms with doors opening to the south facing terrace and gardens. The library, also leading off the hall, has been fitted with cupboards and extensive bookshelves and is presently used as a home office. The original servants quarters now have a comfortable sitting room, playroom and a bespoke kitchen fitted to an exemplary standard and including a four oven AGA, electric ovens, microwave, coffee machine and two fitted fridges. The utility room also bespoke fitted, with a north facing pantry beyond, has a door opening to an inner courtyard which doubles as an outdoor dining area and from where there is access to the Coach House Cottage.

The main staircase leads up to a galleried landing, lit by a roof lantern above, and off which lead beautifully presented bedrooms, each individual in character and complemented by seven bedrooms and five bathrooms on this floor; the most notable is the principal suite with a hidden dressing room and en suite bathroom with a sunken bath from where to enjoy the view. A secondary staircase leads up from downstairs and continues to the second floor where there is a delightful eighth bedroom with en suite bathroom and a snug/media room.

Gardens and grounds
A wide entrance with electric wrought iron Deer Park Estate Gates open to a gravel driveway leading past beautifully managed woods and parkland to a gravel sweep and ample parking.

The gardens are spectacular, beautifully designed and planted to form rooms within the grounds. An impressive south facing terrace, perfect for entertaining and capturing the distant views, wraps the main elevations of the house with wonderful vistas over the gardens. Well stocked herbaceous borders, box hedging, topiary and feature trees are set within sweeping lawns and framed by mature trees for year round interest, with a further raised terrace creating a perfect setting for alfresco dining. The main gardens are secure for dogs and there is an informal garden area beyond, also fenced and secure.

The parkland has a backdrop of mature woodland and is permanent grassland ideal for grazing horses or livestock. In all extending to about 11.06 acres.
