This delightful cottage in Twyford has beautiful period accommodation and is surprisingly spacious, arranged over three floors. Character features provide a fabulous environment and the cottage also benefits from a lovely secret garden.

Available on the market for the first time in more than twenty years, the property has been well maintained in traditional style and is very attractive. A central entrance porch opens to two reception rooms, one on each flank and a compact but well thought out kitchen lies at the rear with a stable door to the rear courtyard. There is also a ground floor cloakroom.

Stairs from the hall rise to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms; with the stairs continuing to rise up to the top floor where two further double rooms, with pretty dormer windows, and the family bathroom are arranged.

A shared driveway gives way to off street parking for two cars and the cottage is approached on foot by a brick pathway. The South facing terrace offers a pretty and secluded spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and the small courtyard lies to the rear.

A fascinating addition to the outside space is known as 'the secret garden' which isn't immediately attached to the house but is securely and privately fenced and is primarily laid to lawn with a patio area, built-in barbecue and offers plenty of space for al fresco entertaining or garden games.

Lyndsey Swan, Director at Purdie & Swan commented: “It is always exciting to market a period house such as this, particularly when it hasn’t been on the open market in over twenty years.”

Twyford lies about three and a half miles from Winchester and the village has an excellent range of local amenities including Twyford Village Stores, two public houses, a doctors surgery, pharmacy, dentist and the local parish Church of St Mary’s. There is a wonderful community feel to the village which also benefits from its own primary school. The village is particularly popular with commuters because of its excellent links by both road and rail; Shawford train station is less than a mile away.
