Penlands, Hadleigh

Penlands is an impressive and generously proportioned family home, peacefully positioned in a rural setting less than two miles from the historic market town of Hadleigh. Originally built in the 1930s, the property has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over the years, creating substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor offers an excellent range of living and entertaining spaces, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a study area, spacious sitting room with wood-effect flooring, log burner and doors opening into the conservatory. A formal dining room and separate games room provide further reception space, while the well-appointed kitchen forms the heart of the home.
The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, solid wood worktops and a butler sink, alongside an impressive selection of integrated appliances including a triple Neff oven, five-ring induction hob, dishwasher and Miele coffee machine. An inner hall leads to a walk-in larder and generous utility/boot room, with further storage, solid wood worktops and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A ground floor shower room and access to the integral double garage complete this floor.
Upstairs, the spacious accommodation continues with five bedrooms, a dressing room and four bathrooms, together with excellent storage throughout. Bedroom one benefits from a private balcony, enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
Approached via electric double gates, Penlands offers extensive off-road parking to the front and side, together with an integral double garage with electric doors. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a south-facing sun terrace and seating area, providing an excellent space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Development Opportunity
A significant additional benefit is the existing planning permission granted in 2023 for the conversion and extension of the approximately 2,400 sq ft outbuilding to the north of the property, creating two individual three-bedroom dwellings. The full planning approval, including 16 conditions, supporting documentation and associated plans, is available via the Babergh & Mid Suffolk planning portal under reference DC/23/00719.
Penlands enjoys a convenient rural position less than two miles east of Hadleigh, a sought-after historic market town approximately nine miles west of Ipswich. Hadleigh provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, restaurants, pubs, sporting facilities and both junior and senior schools.
