An imposing Georgian townhouse has come up for sale again in one of Suffolk’s most sought-after towns, complete with a multi-generational living space and full planning permission to create a new conservatory.
Grade II-listed Penrith House in Woodbridge first came on the market with Savills late last year and was priced at a guide of £950,000. It has since been re-listed and is now for sale with Fenn Wright for £900,000.
The property is believed to date back to the 18th century and has been under the same family’s ownership for the past 40 years.
Constructed of Suffolk white brick, it is ideally located for the River Deben and the town’s main thoroughfare. Unusually for Woodbridge, it also has a garage and a parking space.
Accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq ft and includes a wealth of period features such as sash windows, feature fireplaces and the original Apex door frame.

To the left of the reception hall is a good-sized family room with an open fire and a door into the garden, and adjacent to this there is a study, which is ideal for working from home and comes with plenty of built-in storage and garden views.
The sitting room is located on the opposite side of the hall and features a large open fireplace as its main focal point and alcove shelving. A partly-glazed door leads out into the garden.
A light and airy kitchen/breakfast room is located to the rear of the property and has a skylight in the centre as well as two sets of patio doors that open into the garden.

The kitchen itself is well fitted and includes an extensive range of contemporary units, work surfaces and a ceramic sink, as well as a good range of integrated appliances including a fridge, dishwasher and double oven.
The ground floor is completed by a good-sized utility space and there is also a cloakroom. However, the current owners have also secured planning permission and listed building consent to create a new conservatory.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing has sash windows to the front, which offer lovely views over the garden and bathe the space in lots of natural light. There is also a family bathroom with a walk-in shower on this floor, as well as two good-sized bedrooms.
The second floor is currently arranged as a self-contained living space and has been used as an Airbnb. According to a spokesperson for estate agents Fenn Wright, it is ideal for multi-generational living and offers two double bedrooms with river views as well as a kitchenette and a bathroom.
Outside, the property also has a fantastic 65 ft walled garden which features a central lawn surrounded by shrub borders and a patio and terrace.
