Interior designer led living

Soothing, fresh interior designer-led décor balances classic elegance with homely warmth in the entrance hall and throughout Penncarrow House, where creamy white tiles stretch out beneath your feet, setting a light and airy tone that pervades throughout the home.

Plush sisal wool blend carpet softens each footstep, while Crittall-style doors open onto a patio that offers unbroken sightlines out over the garden and greenerybeyond, seamlessly merging indoor comfort with panoramic countryside views.

Returning to the entrance hall, a stylish downstairs WC is tucked just off the hallway, its deep blue-black walls providing a striking yet calming contrast to the home’s prevailing crisp white palette.

Hub of the home

The heart of Penncarrow House unfolds to the left in the form of a brand-new, handmade, bespoke kitchen. A vision of style and function, each detail has been meticulously considered, from the Perrin & Rowe taps and Armac Martin cabinet handles to the quartz worktops and a beautifully designed breakfast cupboard with an aged mirror backdrop.
