Description
Wykey House is a very special Georgian country house standing in gorgeous gardens, woodland and land, with lake and wildlife pools and a range of versatile outbuildings. Built in local, mellow red brick, the house has a perfectly symmetrical facade under a deep hipped roof. Beautifully presented throughout, it has light and well-balanced accommodation with an easy flow of rooms ideal for both comfortable daily living and larger scale entertaining. The three principal reception rooms are lit by deep sash windows and feature moulded cornices and striking fireplaces. These lead off the central hallway with its decorative tiled floor and a part glazed front door framing the south-facing views across the garden. Beyond is the bespoke fitted kitchen, with dining area and a comfortable sitting room with cabinet-built cupboards to either side of a stone fireplace housing a woodburning stove.
The kitchen is complemented by a pantry off which is a secondary utility room and a staircase leading up to a playroom. Off the back hall is a large boot room with utility area. The main staircase, lit by a roof lantern, leads to the front and back landings off which lead five attractive double bedrooms and a sixth single bedroom, supported by three recently fitted bathrooms, one being en suite.
Gardens and Grounds
The house stands in the privacy of mature gardens, vegetable garden (with polytunnel) and orchard. and grounds with well manicured lawns, stocked borders, shrubs and roses. From the formal garden, steps lead down to a further lawn with two pools, a stream beyond and woodland to one side.
