DESCRIPTION The Wyck Oast is understood to originally date from the 18th century when it was an oast with five towers. The barn was converted and remodelled in 1990 into the stylish home that it is today with its mixed elevations of brick and stone under a tiled and slate roof. The reception hall is impressive with a galleried double staircase with the vaulted ceiling of the tower making it a light and spectacular entrance to the property. There is a formal dining room which is a grand room, overlooked by the first floor mezzanine library and gives access through arched double doors into the orangery. The orangery is a spectacular space with double doors at both ends giving access to terraces, impressive Chesney’s marble fireplace and underfloor heating beneath the stone floor. At the heart of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room with a utility and boiler room and two cloakrooms. There is a second kitchen, which was installed to assist with multi generation family living and provides great flexibility within the house. At either end of the ground floor there is a drawing and sitting room, both with views and access out to the front and rear gardens as well as a study. The grand double staircase is set within the single remaining oast tower and provides access to the first and second floors. The landing area is a generous space creating a mezzanine library area. The first floor accommodates a master bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and bathroom with separate shower and twin sinks.
