An outstanding Victorian country house, tucked away between Wadhurst and Bells Yew Green with fine views
Description
Wyck house enjoys a private lane approach via a gated driveway and offers a discreet and secluded setting, with fine views being set on high ground overlooking its own parkland, woodland and the neighbouring farmland.
The house itself is well presented and Victorian in character, although it is thought to originally have earlier origins. Key features include the high ceilings, period features and the fine proportions typical of this period, with the three main reception rooms enjoying double aspects. There is a modern, contemporary layout too, with a large kitchen/breakfast room opening into a family room.
The impressive triple garage block has been built in keeping with the house and incorporates a large studio room above, complete with a shower room and fitted out and used as an impressive home office and for entertainment.
The gardens and grounds are a wonderful feature of the property, landscaped and stocked many years ago with a wide variety of specimen shrubs and trees, with good terracing added by the current owners, a stream at the bottom with a feature pond, plus a swimming pool with pool house.
