Dating to c. 1915, a picture-perfect façade reveals an interior promoting a warm, welcoming environment for a growing family.

Soaring 3.2m (approx.) ceilings and green outlooks from every corner foster a feeling of calm and airiness, while a pair of fully functioning, marble-encased fireplaces across family and living/dining areas enhance winter nights.

French doors and a first-class kitchen flow into a completely private entertainer’s courtyard, brilliant for hosting and unwinding among lush, thriving gardens whilst the children play in the cubby.

A much loved property, offered for sale for the first time in 24 years the current owner told LUXURY LIST "The moment I first stepped inside ‘Wychwood’, I knew it was the perfect place for us. I remember calling my husband and saying, "I’ve found our home."

"Twenty-four years later, as we prepare to move into the next chapter of our lives, we look back with so much gratitude for the memories made here, from big family Christmas gatherings to countless kids’ birthdays and backyard celebrations filled with laughter and love."

"We still often pinch ourselves, feeling so fortunate to have called 'Wychwood' our home. Our hope is that its new owners will cherish it just as deeply as we have."
