Wrays is an elegant Victorian country house with far earlier origins, dating back to around 1500, offering a rare blend of history, character and modern family living.
Beautifully restored by the current owners over nearly 30 years, the property has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its rich architectural heritage. Behind the Victorian façade lies a remarkable medieval hall house, with original oak timbers, historic features and period detailing carefully uncovered and retained.
The accommodation offers a variety of characterful rooms, reflecting the home’s evolution through the centuries, alongside more recent additions that provide comfort and practicality for modern life.
A particularly unique feature is the self-contained annexe, now a two-bedroom apartment, originally built as a grand entertaining space with a vaulted ceiling and sprung dance floor.
Set within attractive grounds and steeped in over 500 years of history, Wrays represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true significance, combining period charm with versatile living.
