Property description

Sitting amongst 180 acres of pasture and woodland, Wyfold Court was the former home to a Victorian cotton magnate. The gothic Grade II Listed Mansion house has been converted into stately apartments with a number of exclusive individual new homes built in the grounds. The Anchorage was built in 2000 and is the second to last house in a no-through road with access straight out onto the surrounding parkland and woods. The property has high ceilings, well-proportioned principal rooms and an exceptionally large, part-walled garden. EPC D.
