The approach is quite idyllic, via winding country lanes arriving at the property. East Wyke Farm is a picturesque Victorian farmhouse which has been carefully restored and extended over the years.

The property name originates from the Anglo Saxon word "Wyke" means "dairy farm" and Wyke or Wick is found in place names throughout the British Isles and prior owners of this property have raised a heard of pedigree Blonde d'Aquitaine cattle, The Normandy Herd.

This irresistible home offers classically presented accommodation with an elegant country feel, surrounded by glorious gardens and rolling pastures which extend in all to around 60 acres.
