Wreake Inn Cottage is a beautifully appointed Grade II listed detached home of immense character retaining original features in a contemporary style. Formerly two cottages, it extends to 2,400 sq ft, with an additional oversized garage and further storage over.

A high vaulted room houses a stunning contemporary Mark Wilkinson kitchen featuring a range of bespoke Farrow and Ball hand painted cabinets with granite worktops, matching island and integrated appliances. The kitchen has exposed roof trusses and views over open countryside. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and utility room with bespoke cabinets by Anthony Appleton. Leading down from the kitchen a snug leads to a cosy sitting room. A rear hall with steps down leads to a study or potential fourth bedroom, large drawing room and cloakroom. The first floor accommodation is accessed by two separate staircases from the ground floor. There are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and a dressing room and a further bathroom. The property enjoys a plot extending to approximately 0.3 acre. To the side of the cottage, double gates open onto a sweeping gravelled driveway with hard standing for several vehicles and giving access to an sizeable detached double garage with potential to be a separate annex. The rear of the property has a fully landscaped garden which includes a private seating area, interspersed with planting. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with pathways winding through it, rockeries, mature trees and countryside views.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 6, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 6, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
