Exceptional Four Bedroom Home in Prestigious Ashwicken Setting

Wicken House is a superb four bedroom family home occupying a prime position on one of Ashwicken’s most sought-after roads, locally known as “Millionaires Row”. Set within an impressive 0.76 acre plot (stms), this beautifully established home has been cherished by our vendors for the past 28 years and now offers a rare opportunity for its next custodian to enjoy both its generous proportions and exceptional setting.

Approached via secure electric gates, the property immediately feels private and well secluded, with a sweeping drive leading to a double garage and ample parking. The sense of arrival is both impressive and discreet, setting the tone for the space and flexibility found throughout the home.

Inside, the house unfolds with a natural flow designed for modern family living and entertaining. The main reception spaces are light-filled and elegant, with parquet flooring, bay windows and a wonderful sense of scale throughout. A particularly special garden room enjoys far-reaching views across the beautifully landscaped gardens and adjoining countryside beyond, creating a peaceful retreat within the home. Equally, the sun room offers a more intimate setting – a place to unwind, read and enjoy the changing light throughout the day.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining space has been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary living, blending practicality with a sociable layout. With extensive storage, granite work surfaces and space for a range-style cooker, it sits comfortably as the hub of the house, opening seamlessly into further living and study areas. This impressive extended space spans approximately 26ft, with multiple aspects and French doors opening directly onto the terrace, making it ideal for entertaining on a larger scale. A separate utility room and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs continues to impress, with four double bedrooms arranged to create a sense of both privacy and balance. The principal suite forms its own relaxed retreat, complete with fitted storage, a stylish shower room and access onto a private roof terrace where far-reaching views can be enjoyed. A guest bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite and balcony, further enhancing the home’s sense of flexibility and lifestyle appeal.

Outside, the gardens have been carefully designed and lovingly maintained, wrapping around the property and offering a series of distinct areas to enjoy throughout the day. Expansive lawns, mature planting, a tranquil pond and established trees create a wonderful backdrop, while multiple seating and patio areas provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Wicken House combines privacy, space and long-term ownership in one of the area’s most desirable locations, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home with outstanding lifestyle appeal.
