About this property
Pewsey Cottage is a unique and historic Grade II Listed detached home, originating from the 16th century, featuring a distinctive Dutch-style façade that makes this property a standout on Church Road in Penn.
The ground floor boasts a grand hall with high ceilings and a staircase leading to a first-floor bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The cottage-style kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a double oven and hob set within a fireplace feature, painted units, a dresser, space for appliances, and a door to a rear lobby with a utility recess (ideal for a fridge/freezer) and cloakroom.
At the back of the hall, a dual-aspect dining room offers views of the garden, while to the right, a spacious front-to-back living room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace (complete with the original bread oven) has French doors opening to the garden. Off the living room is a generously sized study, which could also serve as a bedroom, as there is a ground-floor shower room located in the rear hall, accessible from the living room.
A second staircase from the hall leads to a first-floor bedroom, a dressing room/nursery, and a night cloakroom.
Pewsey Cottage is in need of modernisation, offering the opportunity to personalise the space. However, it still retains much of its original charm and character, with period features that highlight its historic appeal and unique personality. With the right vision, this home has the potential to blend modern comforts with its rich heritage.
