Description

No1 Wingfield House is an elegant four bedroom semi-detached family home, built in the early 18th century and set on the edge of the picturesque village of Wingfield.

The original residence was substantially added to from the mid-19th century, becoming a very large country home & garden. In the 1940’s the property was divided into four houses with No1 Wingfield House being the main part of original house. Blending early Georgian and the Arts and Crafts period, its interiors include a beautiful Music room and impressive living space which enjoy views of the attractive garden. The property also provides about an acre of landscaped gardens incorporating mature and attractive borders, a pond, a large separate garage block, and a wonderful Hartley Botanic greenhouse.

An impressive door greets visitors and opens into a striking double-height entrance hall with York stone flooring. An arched, glazed screen leads to the magnificent Victorian music room, featuring an oak timber barrel-vaulted ceiling, an inglenook fireplace, and trefoiled windows. Left from the entrance hall via a substantial door is the Library hall in the original 18th century house. At the end of the Library hall is the Drawing room, adorned with Georgian plaster panelling and features a wonderful period marble fireplace. French doors open onto the terrace, pond and the garden beyond. The spacious Mark Wilkinson kitchen also off the Library hall has oak wood floors, original working shutters and fireplace, which beautifully blends historic charm with modern convenience.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite designed by Stuart Interiors which features bespoke Gothic-inspired woodwork, an oriel window with Pre- Raphaelite style stained glass, and a concealed marble shower room. Another large bedroom is situated next door along with a family bathroom. Two generous bedrooms occupy the top floor, one with en suite shower room, and both enjoy views of the delightful garden and countryside beyond. A magnificent glazed lantern is positioned above the original staircase, which provides a wonderful feature and an abundance of natural light which streams down to the ground floor.
