GARDENS AND GROUNDS

Wycliffe Hall sits, privately and sheltered, in approximately 49 acres of woodland and parkland on the edge of the River Tees. On the west side, the Hall is lanked by Crowgill Wood and Crowgill Pasture lying between the woodland the driveway to the hall. A further ield of quality grazing extends to the Fish Pond Wood, running down to Peg Beck and the original ish ponds and ornamental lake. The current owner appointed the renowned Chelsea Gold winning designer Tom Stuart-Smith to undertake a new scheme that made signiicant changes to create a garden that relect the glorious past as well as a modern and altogether contemporary design that captures the forward looking approach of the estate. Ptolemy Dean was appointed to oversee the refurbishment of the house and redevelopment of the garden buildings, and to ensure the architectural integrity of the project. A walled swimming pool is guarded by two smart glass houses that in turn lead to a large kitchen garden that provides produce for the house all year round.
