Listed Grade II being of architectural and historic importance, The Wyck was originally built as a Hall House under the reign of Elizabeth I; it was then enlarged in the 1800s and featured as a “mansion” in Country Life in 1905. Most recently, The Wyck has been beautifully refurbished and modernised, whilst still maintaining its original period detailing throughout. The property, which is of timber-framed construction, is extremely attractive from both the inside and out, with red brick and timber window frames, plus impressive original fireplaces combining with some contemporary additions. There is a 22ft sitting room with two fireplaces, while the kitchen, designed by Edwin Loxley has granite worktops, twin integrated Miele ovens, two warming draws, a steam oven and coffee machine and a split Belfast sink.
