Description

Wynne House is probably the most iconic property within the acclaimed village of Boxford with origins dating back to the 16th – 17th centuries.

The house was significantly altered during the 18th century and occupies a prominent position on Swan Street with the local shops, primary school and doctors surgery all within easy walking distance.

The house exudes charm and character with numerous exposed beams and timbers, feature fireplaces and some particularly noteworthy wall painting within the drawing room.\

Wynne House has a particularly adaptable and free flowing layout with the drawing room, music room and garden room all interconnected.

The kitchen / breakfast room is well equipped with a four oven electric Aga, whilst both the snug and drawing room have fine inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, guest suite, three further bedrooms, two of which interconnect and a family bathroom.

A detached cottage lies a short distance from the house, comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, it is a rarity to find a property within the heart of such a popular village to sit in more than three acres.

Wynne House is set well back from Swan Street behind a lavender hedge, handmade wooden gates open on to a wide gravel drive which provides parking for several cars.

A sheltered garden adjoins the rear of the house with a brick terrace, lawn with a central pond, yew hedges and specimen shrubs.

The majority of the grounds are lawn incorporating two former croquet lawns bounded by a great variety of mature trees including Whitebeam, Acer, Maple, Weeping Pear, Silver Birch, Medlar, Quince and Cherry. At the far end there is a square summerhouse with internal dimensions approximately 14 ft by 14ft (4.27 m x 4.27 m), which in the past had both water and electricity connected.

The very large barn is divided into several sections providing garaging, workshop, garden store and tractor shed. There is also a former loose box and hay store now used as further storage and work area.

Boxford is a popular village, which also favours the commuter, offers a wide range of amenities including local shops, post office, doctors surgery, two pubs and a primary school.

The 36-hole Stoke by Nayland Golf Club and Spa lies about two miles, as well as outstanding restaurants in nearby Lavenham and Stoke by Nayland.
