Description

Penn House is a building dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with modern additions. The 17th-century section is constructed of red brick, although it is mostly hidden by later alterations. The north gable has been recently restored by removing a modern north wing. The house features six windows along its length, of which only three are original cross-casements. It is two storeys high and has a garden front that includes seven double-hung sash windows set in reveals, which date from the 18th century. The building has a parapet and tiled roofs. The modern work is primarily in an Edwardian modified Jacobean style. Notably, Penn House was visited by William IV and Edward VII.
