About
Wannock Place is a remarkable Grade II Listed home, believed to date from the sixteenth century and later transformed in the eighteenth century to create its handsome Georgian frontage.
Set behind a short driveway and gravelled parking area, the house combines elegant proportions with rich period detail, including flint elevations, sash windows and a wealth of original features.
Inside, the accommodation is light and beautifully presented, arranged over three floors plus a cellar.
A welcoming reception hall is flanked by two versatile reception rooms (ideal for home working or a guest bedroom with its brand new en-suite shower room!), while the older and later parts of the house connect via an inner hall showcasing historic character.
The dual-aspect sitting room is a standout space, featuring a vaulted section with a window rising to the apex and a striking inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, framing views across the pond and gardens.
The adjoining dining room offers a bay window seat, parquet flooring and a further stove, with doors leading through to a playroom/study and conservatory.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with bespoke painted cabinetry and granite worktops, complemented by a matching dresser and a generous walk-in larder, with access down to the cellar for additional storage and utility space.
On the first floor, the principal suite occupies the entire rear elevation of the oldest part of the house and includes a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with bath and separate shower.
Three further bedrooms are found on this floor (one with en suite), together with a spacious family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor.
Gardens & Grounds The gardens are a particular highlight: A series of beautifully arranged walled gardens providing sheltered seating areas, cottage-style planting, patio spaces and a larger formal garden ideal for entertaining, centred around a pond and level lawn bordered by well-stocked beds.
Beyond, the grounds include a kitchen garden and greenhouses, plus a range of useful outbuildings including secure storage, a gardener’s workshop/store and a detached garage with EV charging point Equestrian Facilities For equestrian buyers, the facilities are exceptional.
The yard includes eleven stables with feed/tack storage, an L-shaped block with seven brick-built boxes and an open barn, two further stable blocks, and additional feed storage within a former granary.
