Retained by the same family for over 42 years and now requiring renovation work - offering the new owners an incredible opportunity to fashion a superb family home - Penrith House is an exceptionally handsome Georgian townhouse, with a wealth of period features.

Penrith House benefits from planning permission to extend the kitchen and create a conservatory,.

The heart of the house is believed to date from the 18th century, with an elegant, Suffolk white brick façade added to the building in the early 19th century, during the Napoleonic Wars.

The building is Grade II listed for special architectural and historic interest and retains many superb period features, including sash windows and the original front doorframe with Doric pilasters.

Internally, the accommodation flows incredibly well and, typical of houses of the period, comprises well-proportioned and light filled rooms.

The elegantly proportioned drawing room has a fantastic, wide open fireplace with a brick hearth and surround; exposed timbers and a partially glazed door leading to the rear garden.

A door opens on to the kitchen/breakfast room, a bright double aspect space with two sets of French windows leading on to the terrace and garden. It leads through to a useful utility room and lavatory.

Completing the ground floor are the sitting room and study. The sitting room has an attractive chimneypiece, a sash window to the front and a partially glazed door leading to the gardens.

There are four generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms over the first and second floor. The second floor contains two charming, double aspect bedrooms, which enjoys superb views to the church and river. The second floor has in the past been utilised as AirBnB rooms and there is an accompanying kitchenette.

Penrith House has a delightful and surprisingly spacious walled garden to the rear of the house, with terraces ideal for al fresco dining and mature herbaceous borders.

Rare for such a central location, Penrith House has a garage and also a parking forecourt.

Planning permission and listed building consent has been granted for the creation of a substantial kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory.
