The Wickets is a delightful period village house, with highly attractive accommodation, set in a superb position opposite the pretty parish church in the small village of Greatworth.

There’s a comfortable sitting room on the ground floor with a dual aspect, wooden parquet flooring and a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. The heart of the home is the large open-plan living space, with its drawing room, dining area and kitchen. Bi-fold doors open onto the rear garden, bringing plenty of natural light to the drawing room, while the kitchen has shaker-style units in white, black granite worktops, a central island, an Aga and integrated AEG appliances.
