For many years Wood Barton has been a family home. It is centred on the Grade I Listed Long house which dates from early to mid-14th century, there is a record of a dwelling on the site at the time of the Domesday survey.
On offer is the main house, feature garden, vegetable garden, tennis court, paddock, a wooded area and Gate House
The house stands in beautiful park-like grounds with many mature specimen trees and flowering shrubs.
The principal accommodation runs across the house with a southerly outlook to the gardens. Its character testifies to its long history, in the large open fireplaces and the massive structural roof timbers and blackened beams. A wing projecting forward accommodates what could be an annexe but currently serves as a garden room and guest bedroom above. The service rooms run behind the house, with a kitchen with Aga at the west end overlooking a small protected courtyard.
The gardens and grounds surround the house and contain many fine specimen trees and shrubs including magnolias, two davidia, azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons and acers, as well as several ponds and water features. Much was planted in the early 1930's, they have been developed and tended by the vendor's family over the last 40 years and have been part of the NGS scheme. Spring bulbs carpet the ground and delightful paths meander through the grounds, opening up vistas of the surrounding countryside. Immediately in front of the house there is a lawn with adjacent borders, paved terrace along the south side of the house and central sculpture area.
Next to the lawn, screened by a beech hedge, is a vegetable garden with raised beds, fruit cage and pathways and the hard tennis court screened by a further beech hedge.
The gate house is situated to the rear of the kitchen gardens by the drive. It has its own parking area away from the house. It provides entrance lobby/store, large living room/kitchen, bedroom and a spacious shower room.
