The Wychwood

Five bedrooms in a detached house means one of them quietly becomes something else — the desk-and-bookshelves room, the one that officially houses a child but functionally doubles as a practice space for whatever instrument is currently obsessive. That flexibility is the quiet point of a home like The Wychwood. At 1,591 sq ft, there's enough spread across this detached house to absorb real life: the working-from-home days that bleed into the evening, guests who stay a few nights rather than just a few hours, the hobbies that need a corner rather than a cupboard. The fifth bedroom isn't aspirational — it's the room that prevents compromise. A house of this scale doesn't demand a particular kind of household; it accommodates the one that's already formed, art going up over the sofa, routines settled, and no need to rearrange around what's missing.
