The Property

Pencilau Farm offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a 14th Century Grade II listed rural residence with attached stone outbuildings and a variety of other useful outbuildings set within approximately 13 acres of gardens, woodland and grounds. The property has been owned by the same family for the past 38 years.

Stepping through the front door of this historic farmhouse, you’re welcomed into a warm and inviting entrance hall. Doors from this space open to a ground floor bedroom, study and reception room with the latter providing access to the kitchen.

The kitchen is full of character and charm and benefits from an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, flagstone flooring and oak beams that run across the ceiling. There is a Belfast sink, an array of freestanding cupboards offering worktop space and ample room for a dining table and chairs. A large pantry and an additional access can be found to the rear and side of this room respectively.

A staircase from the entrance hall leads you up to the first floor accommodation. There are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. An impressive, spacious sitting room completes the first floor accommodation. A room once again brimming with character and mirroring the space below with an inglenook fireplace and exposed beams. This space could be transformed into a principal bedroom suite if desired.

Above this room, accessed externally via a carved oak door and bargeboards, you will find the granary. This space reveals exposed beams, upper cruck roof trusses and the option for further accommodation if required.

Outbuildings

A large 6 bay listed stone thrashing barn compliments the property and has two raised floors.

Attached is another stone barn that the owners had previously obtained full planning for conversion. This planning has since expired. 

Both of the barns span over 2500sqft of useful and versatile space.

Detached from the property is a 1800 sqft steel framed barn that would be perfect for a variety of uses. Particularly those wishing to store vehicles or have a large workshop area.

Outside

A five-bar gate welcomes you to a private driveway with sloping land either side. A spacious yard, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles can be found at the bottom of this drive. To the right is a single-storey steel framed outbuilding and to the left the stone barns and main residence.

The gardens, woodland and grounds amount to circa 13 acres and beautifully wrap around Pencilau Farmhouse. Expansive lawns stretch out, offering excellent views and to the rear of the property lies a tranquil area of woodland, well preserved traditional hay meadows and sloping fields.

An abundance of fruit trees and wildflowers compliment the package that offers an excellent natural feel.
