7 bedroom detached house

A beautiful Grade II listed period home, set within outstanding grounds of approaching 5.5 acres and situated in the sought-after village of Penn.

Town Farmhouse is one of the oldest dwellings in Penn, dating back to the 16th century. It has undergone sympathetic extension and modernisation over time to offer delightful accommodation. The property preserves its original and rare historic character, including exposed beams and leaded windows, alongside modern features and design to offer an ideal family home.

The entrance hall/dining room gives access into the drawing room, sitting room, study, and cloakroom. The hall/dining room, drawing room and sitting rooms all have wood-burning stoves and offer fantastic reception space, with the drawing room and sitting room also enjoying double doors into the grounds. The sitting room gives access to the kitchen/breakfast room, with bespoke maple units made by Pietersen Fine Furniture, stone worktops, Aga and fitted dishwasher and fridge freezer. The breakfast room has external access into the grounds, whilst an adjoining utility room offers further storage, an electric oven and access into the grounds. A glazed garden room is accessed via the sitting room and kitchen and offers fantastic space to relax and enjoy garden views. One of the many features of this property is the 40ft family/party room offering excellent space for any occasion with wood-burning stove, travertine stone flooring and French doors into the gardens. From here is a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom.

The first floor provides six bedrooms, a family bathroom and ample storage cupboards. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, fitted wardrobes and large ensuite bath and shower room. Bedroom two also has an en suite bathroom and fitted cupboards. A staircase leads to the attic from bedroom five which has the potential to be converted to other uses, subject to necessary planning consents.

Gardens and Grounds

Town Farmhouse is accessed via a gated driveway, leading to a large area of parking. A former stable block provides space for two carports and two enclosed workshop/storage areas which could be adapted for other uses, such as a home office or gym.. There is a secondary drive which runs from the rear of the property through a large orchard/paddock onto Beacon Hill and is the original entrance route into the farm.

The gardens and grounds are a true highlight to Town Farmhouse and are another of its many, many beautiful features. The gardens include areas of landscaped lawn, flower beds and specimen trees with substantial areas of more informal natural gardens and wildflower meadowland. There are multiple dining and seating areas throughout the grounds, which also benefit from a pond, hard-surface tennis court, summer house and two separate tractor/garden storage outbuildings. There are two well-stocked and productive orchards containing fruit trees of cherry, apple, pear, plum, damson and quince.

The grounds extend in all to approximately five and a half acres and are bordered by mature trees and hedging to create a beautifully tranquil and secluded private landscape. The setting of Town Farmhouse and its grounds is further enhanced by the adjacent 60-acre Penn Diamond Jubilee Wood which is a nature reserve owned by the Woodland Trust and managed by the Chiltern Society.
