A handsome detached village house together with a super garden and private parking.
Attractively positioned close on Wickwar's central street, Ivy House is a very charming double-fronted Georgian detached house which excellent character. Sash windows, exposed beams, original wood floors and open fireplaces display the history of the house, which dates back to the mid-19th century. The imposing portico doorway, with its dramatic columns, provides a welcoming first impression. Internally the house has been recently redecorated in a sympathetic style that complements the property's age and grandeur. Heritage colours provide a restful backdrop for the farmhouse style kitchen, elegant reception rooms and the spacious entrance hall, the latter with its original encaustic tile floor.
The accommodation is well proportioned and arranged over three floors, comprising a triple aspect sitting room, a formal dining room, glazed garden room to the rear of the house, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with attached pantry and a downstairs cloakroom. The first floor has two good-size bedrooms and a family bath/shower room, with a further two double bedrooms on the second floor.
Outside
Ivy House has a prominent position close to the centre of Wickwar and is set back from the road behind a walled front garden; the ivy that gives the house its name creates a delightful effect on the front elevations of the house. A private driveway to the side provides off-street parking and access to a detached car port. Most of the outside space can be found to the rear, where there are very private, mature gardens that are not overlooked and offer a south-westerly aspect. Mature hedges, trees and well-stocked borders provide colour and interest, and there is a separate area to the rear which has a greenhouse and raised beds, ideal as a kitchen garden.
