The Accommodation
Wyche Cottage is a charming country property constructed of traditional common brick bond under a slate roof with an attractive cottage style façade.

Internally the accommodation is impressive with a blend of modern open plan space and cosy cottage style living whilst enjoying a pleasant rural outlook on all sides.

A timber front door opens into the glazed porch with quarry tile floor and beyond to the staircase hall. From the staircase hall access is gained to the sitting room, playroom and the inner hall. The sitting room is a particularly cosy room with open brick fireplace and timber mantel above and bay window with a rural aspect. Adjacent is the playroom which is also a comfortable room with access to the kitchen via a stable door. Recently this room has been used as a 4th bedroom making it readily adaptable for those who may have dependent occupants. Off the inner hall are the principal reception rooms comprising dining room, garden room in addition to the kitchen and study. The dining room is an elegant and well-proportioned room with an open plan arrangement adjoining the garden room which was constructed by the vendor creating a beautifully appointed space with blue self-cleaning, solar control glass lantern, panoramic view of the lawned gardens and has a Jotul multifuel burner giving a warm ambience all year around.
