Penstowe is an extremely distinctive and elegant detached Edwardian house dating back to 1905. Its generous accommodation is in need of updating and refurbishment but has enormous potential for extension and development. It could be an exciting project for buyers with the energy and imagination to transform it into a fine contemporary home. The fact that the house has seen only very limited investment and change over the years means that many original Edwardian features have been retained including cornicing to ceilings, doors (and door furniture), picture rails and skirtings, sash windows, fireplaces and picture rails. The attractive external elevations of the property are another feature, constructed as it is of brick with part rough cast rendered upper elevations and bay windows.
On the ground floor a hall leads to a sitting room with two bay windows, a study, dining room, conservatory, breakfast room, kitchen and a rear lobby, off which there is a WC and storeroom. At first floor level a large open plan landing leads to five bedrooms and to a bathroom. A gas fired boiler provides partial central heating.
Externally the house can be approached either via a pedestrian access off Howsell Road or via its main driveway through a pillared and gated entrance off Somers Park Avenue. This driveway can accommodation several vehicles and there is space to construct a substantial garage or outbuilding. The good size garden is laid to level lawn with hedged boundaries.
