Built about 15 years ago by Macintosh Homes, Wessex Court is a small development of impressive Georgian-style houses surrounding a large, rectangular green situated in a quiet setting on the edge of the village. 4 Wessex Court faces out onto the green and to the village's imposing, Grade II* listed 12th century church beyond. Behind the house has a lovely view out over the garden. The house is faced with local stone under a slate roof and has accommodation on two floors with a suite of good-sized attic rooms in the roof space. It is well presented with light and airy accommodation that is well-lit by natural light flooding in through double-glazed sash windows. The ground floor has three reception rooms, which are all accessible from the reception hall. The large sitting room looks out on both the green and the garden and has a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. Double doors lead through to the adjacent dining room to create a large, single space for entertaining when required. The kitchen/breakfast room has recently been fitted with new units incorporating a central island, quartz work surfaces, Belfast sink, and a range of built-in Caple appliances. It also has a good sized space for dining. The adjacent garden room has a lovely outlook across the rear garden and French windows that open to the terrace. Upstairs the house has seven bedrooms split over two floors. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and windows on two sides with lovely views over the garden. The guest bedroom also has an ensuite shower room and there are two further bedrooms sharing the family bathroom. On the upper floor in the roof space are two more double bedrooms and a further bathroom.
4 Wessex Court is approached off the green via a pair of wrought iron access gates to a parking area with space for several cars and an adjacent double garage. The house is set back from the road behind a dwarf wall surmounted by cast iron railings with a pedestrian access gate and paved path to the front door, which shelters under a rose-bedecked wrought iron porch. The rear garden is private and well-screened incorporating a glazed veranda and paved terrace that extends along the back of the house. The terrace opens out onto an L-shaped, level lawn, which leads round past a flower and shrub border to a timber garden store and small vegetable garden. To one side of the lawn and close to the house is a timber summer house with a fitted electrical supply.
