Description
Penmere House is an impressive five bedroom, slate roofed, detached family home which has been redeveloped, including re-wired and re-plumbed, in 2016 resulting in a fabulous open plan living environment. It has been owned by the same family for 22 years and this is now an opportunity to buy a house of a size and quality that rarely comes on the market in the area. The accommodation is light and bright with a
contemporary feel and has been well planned for family living.
The splendid hallway with vaulted ceiling creates an impressive first impression and links through to the incredible open plan living space which runs across the back of the property.
This area includes the superb open-plan dining room which enjoys fabulous views out across the garden, the SieMatic kitchen/breakfast room has seamless lines, handleless units with soft closing cabinets and silestone work surfaces. Fully
fitted Miele appliances include two electric fan ovens, steam oven and microwave, four ring induction hob and downdraft extractor, two dishwashers, refrigerator, and freezer. There is
also a Quooker tap for instant hot water, and a water softener. Leading from the kitchen is a utility room and WC. The high-level Velux windows are electric open/shut, with rain sensors for automatic closing.
The impressive sitting room is well proportioned and features an attractive Morso wood burner as well as views out over the gardens. This whole of the ground floor space has polished concrete flooring throughout with zoned under floor heating and enjoys an abundance of natural light courtesy of multiple glazed sliding doors leading out to the patio, private garden and swimming pool.
Further accommodation includes a
separate snug/family room, office, plant room and a discreetly placed second staircase leading to a further home office space above the garage (which could be used as a fifth bedroom) with vaulted ceiling and under-eaves storage.
On the first floor the principal bedroom suite has a dressing room and luxury en suite bathroom, and two sets of patio doors leading to a balcony with glass balustrade providing some fabulous views over Hamble Common.
There are three further double bedrooms, all enjoying views of the garden and all with their own en suite shower rooms. All the bedrooms come with push-button electric black out blinds. There is also a large linen storage room.
The large loft is accessed by a ladder and has further significant storage space and offers possible opportunity for further development, subject to the relevant planning permission.
Outside
The grounds are a real feature of this delightful family home, extending to about 0.52 acres they are attractively landscaped with well-maintained lawn and high hedges giving the property
a good degree of seclusion.
The rear of the house is south facing, so the generous terraced area provides a great sunny space for outdoor entertaining from early until late. The wraparound terrace links to the impressive, heated swimming pool, expanding on the entertaining space. There is a summerhouse containing the pool filtration equipment and the operation of the push button pool cover. This is also currently used as a home gym area.
