A beautifully appointed and immaculate Grade II listed Georgian home with a delightful walled garden and grounds of about 7.65 acres.
Originally dating back to the 17th century, Wrigwell was later remodeled in the early 1800s and an exquisite Georgian home of immense charm and elegance was created. This beautifully appointed Grade II listed house offers wonderfully proportioned accommodation and is immaculately presented throughout.
Driving through the gates of Wrigwell and down the private drive, the tone is set for what is to greet you when you step into this incredible home. The attractive front door, pillared porch and spacious entrance hall lead to the two principal reception rooms, both rooms being a delight with large sash windows with internal shutters and high ceilings giving a light and spacious feel. The drawing room and dual aspect dining room both have beautiful open fireplaces with marble surrounds and there is a large inglenook and wood burning stove in the sitting room, which is positioned next to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The bespoke and well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is clearly the heart of the home and focal point for family living, it is well equipped with an Aga, an induction hob and oven, a double butler sink, central island unit and a larder. Beyond the kitchen is a large utility room, pantry and boot room with flagstone floors and access to an external log store. The kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining sitting room have doors leading to the walled courtyard garden, perfect for al fresco dining.
The first floor offers three en-suite double bedrooms and a further three double bedrooms with one of the en-suite bedrooms benefiting from an adjoining dressing room. In addition is the family bathroom. All the bedrooms are beautifully presented and offer a wonderful outlook across the gardens.
If desired, the first floor of the south wing with bedroom 5 and 6 could easily be configured into B&B use by turning one of the bedrooms into a sitting room . There is external access via the courtyard, offering a great deal of flexibility and an opportunity to create an income.
Gardens and Grounds
Established and beautifully maintained gardens wrap around Wrigwell House and complement it beautifully with an abundance of spring bulbs, flower beds, lawns and terraces. The design of the gardens is very much in keeping with the period and the formal walled gardens are home to established topiary, box hedging and lawns bordered by a stone terrace covered by a wisteria clad pergola. The walls of the working kitchen garden are adorned with espalier fruit trees and there is an orchard and a beautiful croquet lawn, bordered by a Ha-Ha with fields beyond. In total, the grounds extend to about 7.65 acres.
