Spectacular gardens designed by a Chelsea Flower Show bronze medallist are the highlight of Wychwood House.

The property was built in the late 1970s and the grounds around it were designed by Stephanie Hunter, who planned it as a low-maintenance garden that is in harmony with the natural contours of the land.

A series of wooden-decking style walkways and steps are at the centre of many mature trees, shrubs and lawns.

Located at the end of a private driveway off Ladder Hill in Wheatley, the family house extends across split levels.

Much of the property has been recently renovated and includes a new kitchen, recessed downlighters and contemporary décor throughout.

The accommodation includes a large entrance hall, downstairs cloakroom, two reception rooms, a study, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, utility room, five bedrooms and two bathrooms.

There is a large drawing room with sliding doors to a wide terrace and a short flight of stairs up to the dining room that is on the same level. The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, Neff appliances, and there is a utility room off it with space for laundry machines.

Of the bedrooms, all have fitted wardrobes and one has its own en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom that has been fitted with a bath and separate shower unit, bidet and marble tiled floor.

Other features of note include a solid wooden staircase that runs through the centre of the house, an open fireplace in the drawing room and underfloor heating to limestone floors in the hallway, part of the landings and conservatory.

There are new carpets in the lower ground floor and dining room and outside is a double garage with a good-sized workshop next to it.

Graham MacDonald, of agents Kemp & Kemp Residential, said: “This house is very quiet as it is surrounded by mature trees, bushes, and spectacular landscaping. It is a flexible house that is even more spectacular because of the wonderful garden.

“Because the house is built on a hill, the rooms are on half levels so it is perfect for family life and working from home.”
