3 bedroom house

Penlaurel House was constructed in the early 1950’s and has well-proportioned accommodation that would benefit from some cosmetic updating. The property has been in the ownership of the same family since it was built back in the early 1950’s and has been expanded upon over the years. One of the key advantages of the property is the large single storey two bedroom annexe which is adjacent and could be interconnected if necessary creating a much larger residence. The current set up would ideally suit multi-generational families or possibly pave the way to providing an income by way of some form of letting. The attractive gardens and the land that abuts the house at the rear highlight the flexibility of the home.

The accommodation in the main house includes a porch and entrance hall. The dual aspect lounge has plenty of natural light and a fire surround with inset a wood burning stove. The formal dining room has fitted cupboards and a parquet floor. From this room, access could easily be gained to the annexe via an internal door which is currently fixed shut. The kitchen has a range of matching units with spaces for the relevant appliances. An under stairs larder provides useful storage. Moving through, the inner hallway has access to the large pantry, utility room and a ground floor bathroom/WC.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, the master bedroom is dual aspect and enjoys the very finest of the views over the surrounding countryside. All of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and cupboards with bedrooms one and two having wash hand basins. The family bathroom/WC has a shower unit over the panelled bath. The house has UPVC double glazing and warmth which is generated by oil fired central heating.

The adjacent annexe added in the 1970's is self-contained but as previously mentioned could be integrated to the house with ease, extending the accommodation. It has spacious, light and airy rooms with a superb lounge/dining room and a modern fitted kitchen with a range of matching units. The kitchen has a cooker with extractor above, a refrigerator and a dishwasher. The two bedrooms are double in size with the master bedroom having a view of the garden and double doors which opens onto the decking area. The annexe has a modern bathroom/WC. Like the main house, warmth is provided by oil fired central heating and again the external windows and doors are UPVC double glazed.

There is no doubt that the flexibility of the property will suit a wide range of buyers. Penlaurel House benefits from broadband connectivity with the configured layout of the property ideal for those who desire to work from home.

GROUNDS
The property is approached via a shared driveway which leads to the driveway at the side that provides plenty of off road parking. The gardens extend to the side and the rear and are divided into separate areas. The lawned manicured area at the side has an attractive range of shrubs, bushes and perennials, young specimen trees and is bordered in part by deciduous hedging. The area captures the very finest of the views across the surrounding countryside towards Dartmoor National Park. A separate enclosed area would serve well as a productive garden with vegetable beds and orchard. At the rear of the main house is a concreted courtyard which is suitable for pot plants and outside dining throughout the warmer months with access out from the back of the kitchen. There is a greenhouse and some further flowerbeds well stocked with plants and smaller shrubs. This area is enclosed by mature hedging and panelled fencing with pedestrian access to the field. There is a large shed. The adjacent annexe has its own area of garden that comprises of a large decking area and a low maintenance outside space that is separate from the main house. The gardens have outside lighting and a tap along with a well.
