The property
Pentre Cwm is a detached Georgian family home. Configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment, maximising the stunning views, it offers more than 3,800 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over four floors. Sensitively combining modern amenities with features including generously-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and some original fireplaces, the accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with useful cloakroom. It briefly comprises a sitting room with an exposed brick chimney breast incorporating a feature fireplace with woodburning stove and a drawing room with a feature fireplace, also with woodburning stove. Double doors and a glass-panelled door lead from the drawing room to an L-shaped conservatory with large picture glazing incorporating French doors to the terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a kitchen/dining room with a range of wall and base units, an exposed brick inglenook with bread oven and Stanley range, modern integrated appliances, a walk-in pantry, space for a sizeable table and French doors to the terrace. A door from the dining area opens to a dual aspect conservatory breakfast room with a door to the rear aspect, giving access to an adjacent attached fitted utility room and workshop. The property also benefits from generous cellarage with light and power, previously used as a games room and with potential for a variety of uses.

An oak staircase rises from the reception hall to a generous first floor landing with space for a office area, if required. It opens to a front aspect principal bedroom with modern en suite bathroom and three further well-proportioned bedrooms, all with fitted storage, and to a contemporary family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The property’s two remaining vaulted double bedrooms, both with fitted and eaves storage, can be found on the second floor.
