Description

Wynefreds is a unique and historic property that offers a rare opportunity to live in a Grade II* listed house with a rich history dating back to the Elizabethan era. The house was once a high-status residence and has been a family home for centuries, with the original core of the house possibly predating 1564. The property features many original external and internal features, including high ceilings, great chambers, and ornate carpentry. The living room on the ground floor retains many medieval or early post-medieval elements, including a second bread oven that may have originally functioned as a malting chamber or entrance vestibule. The room also features candle alcoves, internal fireside benches, and apotropaic marks on the fireplace lintel, which add to its historical charm. The kitchen area blends modern convenience with historic character, featuring an oil-fired Aga and bespoke fitted units. Upstairs, the bedrooms retain many architectural details from their former use as a single, impressive space known as the Great Chamber. Overall, Wynefreds is a truly special property that offers a unique blend of history, character, and comfort.
