DESCRIPTION
Little Wolleigh is a picturesque Grade II listed house dating from the SixteenthCentury with later additions, including the south west wing which was added in 1935. The main part of the house is cob and stone under a thatched roof
and sits in wonderful grounds of about 3 acres.
The house, offers three principal reception rooms and the friendly combined kitchen/ family room on the ground floor. The house has retained many period features, including a wide stone fireplace in the drawing room with a large brick oven to the left, late sixteenth century oak panelling in the study and a beautiful arched
granite surround projecting from the front door, which is again believed to date from the sixteenth century. In contrast to this, modern day living at Little Wolleigh has a low carbon footprint and is highly energy efficient.
The house is heated by a Windhager biomass boiler which is linked to a solarthermal system.
In addition, solar photovoltaics provide electricity.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The grounds at Little Wolleigh are beautifully designed to create many different aeas of enjoyment. The formal gardens incorporate the wide lawn and terraced seating areas and are overlooked by the south elevation of the house,
which hosts a magical wisteria believed to date from circa 1935. The lower garden is ideal for entertaining and centers around a thatched summer house (with power) a terrace bordered with box hedging and a well-established
lily pond. Beyond the gardens is an ancient orchard, home to a number of beautiful fruit trees, including quince, apple, pear and plum.

A delightful gazebo which stands on a small island within the discovered remains of a former bathing pool is reached via an arched bridge. The kitchen gardens offer a vast array of vegetable and fruit beds, all interspersed with
a network of brick herringbone paths and an irrigation system supplied with water from a
number of rain water butts. There are a number of unusualspecimen trees within the grounds.

OUTBUILDINGS
The outbuildings include a bespoke 26’ timber and glass greenhouse, two workshops and a boiler room which houses the biomass system. There is also a pellet store, a studio with WC, ideal for home working and a mower shed which houses the borehole and filtration equipment. There is also a games room and further store.

Within the grounds there is a Grade II Listed detached barn built of cob and stone, with adjoining store and hay loft, which in all extends to nearly 50’.
