Originally owned by Gonville and Ciaus College, Wytherton is believed to date
from the 1920s and is one of a small number of substantial, private houses in
the Newnham area. It has a most impressive gabled facade and was constructed
in an Arts and Crafts style with partly rendered brick elevations under a
tiled roof. The current owner has carried out an extensive programme of
alterations, improvements and extensions and the result is an outstanding,
versatile family house, suitable for a variety of needs. The superbly
presented accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and offers the best of
modern, contemporary living whilst retaining all the proportions and character
of the original period building.
