Dating to the 16th century Ulting Wick is a Grade II listed farmhouse set within approximately 12 acres of exceptional, nationally recognised gardens. The property presents a feel of timeless English character and charm from the original inglenook fireplaces and beams to the sash windows and peg tile roof.
A welcoming entrance hall, with access to cloakroom and utility, opens to the ground floor accommodation. There are five reception rooms including a large drawing room and dining room, while the family room and sitting room lead to a south-facing conservatory with double doors onto the terrace. The ground floor is completed by a traditional kitchen featuring an Aga, dining area and dual aspects to the front and rear gardens. Six bedrooms comprise the first floor accommodation, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a two further family bathrooms. The principal bedroom offers a spacious dressing room also.
A well appointed two bedroom cottage sits within the grounds, complete with fitted kitchen and bathroom, providing ancillary accommodation.
A further three barns serve as multipurpose outbuildings including an apple sorting barn, potting shed, tea barn and laundry. A productive vegetable garden is accompanied by a Victorian style greenhouse. Screened by mature trees and hedging, Ulting Wick is accessed via a gravel driveway with turning circle leading to additional parking. Expanses of manicured lawns are framed by specimen trees and plants, and flow to a series of discreet gardens providing beautiful pockets of tranquillity. The grounds extend to naturalistic areas of treelined meadows and a large pond which provides a focal point and sense of calm. A tennis court and swimming pool are thoughtfully positioned within the landscape, allowing practical enjoyment without detracting from the setting's natural elegance.
