Not only does Rosewood provide an attractive detached house with a wonderful balance of living space but here on the fringes of Twyford, there is secondary accommodation too, ideal to create an income stream or provide extended members of the family with a lovely home; independent but not too far away.

Stable Cottage lies adjacent to the main house and has planning permission to re-build as a contemporary two bedroom property with its own garden and parking. The plans for this exciting project are available for inspection with the agent, Purdie & Swan.

Rosewood is approached over a gravelled driveway and the house is set well back from the road with lawned gardens wrapping around the house. The driveway passes between the two dwellings and continues to a useful outbuilding, formerly stables.

The house is light and airy and the rooms take advantage of the setting with French doors from the 21ft dining hall opening to the southerly aspect and the large sitting room and kitchen having lovely outlooks over the garden. The kitchen is beautifully fitted and there is plenty of space for a farmhouse table on the tiled floor and exposed pale timbers keep the atmosphere light. There is also a utility room and cloakroom.

The first floor landing is light and spacious with doors off to three good size bedrooms, all with fitted storage, with the master bedroom having a walk through dressing room to its shower room. The family bathroom is delightful with a roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.

Twyford lies about four miles from Winchester and has a character all its own with a thriving community banded together by local shops, pubs, coffee shops, village hall, primary school, doctors surgery and parish church. Leisure facilities are plentiful with lovely countryside on the doorstep, cycle routes, tennis courts, cricket and nearby wild swimming. Twyford is particularly popular with commuters due to its excellent links by road and rail to the wider area, with nearby Shawford station just over a mile away.

Purdie & Swan will be delighted to hear from interested purchasers and an appointment to view may be made by calling the office on 01962 717711. A guide price of £950,000 is quoted.
