Magnificent Grade II Listed Country House In 3.3 Acres With Development Potential

Penmellyn House offers a unique opportunity to acquire a property rich with Character. Entering through the welcoming porch, you're greeted by an impressive reception hall where a striking staircase with original tiled and slate treads immediately sets the tone. A second staircase, once used by the household staff, remains a charming period feature tucked away at the rear. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed, offering generous space for everyday living and entertaining, complete with an excellent range of integrated appliances and a classic red two-door Aga. Beyond, a rear porch leads to a practical utility room and separate WC.

The first floor is centred around an elegant principal bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom and an additional separate WC, making this floor perfectly suited to family life.

On the second floor, a spacious landing provides an ideal playroom, reading area or additional sitting space, with four further bedrooms arranged around it. A family bathroom and separate shower room ensure this upper floor is equally well equipped for larger families or visiting guests.

Outside, Penmellyn House is set within approximately 3.3 acres of beautifully established grounds that combine formal gardens with areas of natural beauty. Expansive lawns blend into an organic vegetable garden, productive orchard, mature woodland and colourful wildflower meadow, creating a wonderfully private and peaceful setting.

Approached through impressive dressed stone boundary walls with ornate gate pillars and secure entrance gates, the sweeping driveway provides extensive parking to both the front and side of the house.

The property also benefits from a valuable building plot accessed via a retained vehicular right of way over part of the neighbouring entrance drive. Planning permission for a detached two-storey dwelling with detached garage was originally granted under Cornwall Council application PA15/04165, and because works commenced under building regulations, the consent remains extant, presenting an exciting opportunity for future development, subject to the existing consent.
