Description
Guide Price £2,500,000 - £2,650,000.Set within just under 3 acres in the conservation area of Patmore Heath, Penrose House is a country house of genuine scale and extraordinary character. Approached via a long private driveway, the house sits in complete peace and tranquility, yet is only moments from Patmore Heath itself, an Area of Special Scientific Interest, and within walking distance of a local pub. Privacy without isolation.
A grand reception hall anchors the ground floor, from which five exceptional reception rooms flow: a family room, sitting room, study, conservatory and cinema room. The kitchen and dining area is the heart of the house, extending to over 40ft and situated around a central island and AGA, with underfloor heating and utility room alongside.
Six bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, the principal an extraordinary room in its own right, served by a luxurious en-suite. A further en-suite, family bathroom and shower room serve the remaining rooms. Two attic rooms offer significant conversion potential, with lapsed planning permission in place.
Outside, the grounds are exceptional. A front garden with a pond and sunken garden planted with mature acers, expansive formal lawns with herbaceous borders, a Hartley Botanic greenhouse, outdoor kitchen, tennis court and swimming pool. The oak-framed barn provides garaging for eight cars, while the large open barn offers six further spaces, equally suited to a horse box.
Bishop's Stortford station is a 15-minute drive, with direct services to London Liverpool Street in around 38 minutes. Outstanding independent schooling nearby includes Bishop's Stortford College, St Edmunds, Heath Mount and Haileybury.
A home of rare quality. Grounds to match.
