4 bedroom detached house for sale

This beautifully positioned house is understood to date back to the late 19th century and was formerly the chauffeur’s cottage to Orchard House. In 1953 the house was separated from the cottage and has since been a much-loved family home. Situated in the sought-after village of Twyford, approximately three miles south of Winchester on the river terrace of the Itchen, the property has been extended over the years and now provides in excess of 3300 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation. This traditionally constructed and beautifully presented property benefits from both excellent ground and first floor accommodation and enjoys four reception rooms, including an attractive formal sitting room with a feature bay window and fireplace towards the front of the house. A second, flexible reception room is currently being used as a cinema/snug. There is also a delightful double height summer/garden room overlooking the garden with a feature wood burner providing a pleasing focal point and a separate office, ideal for those looking to work from home. The kitchen/dining room is a great shape for entertaining with space for sofas and relaxing. The kitchen is further complemented by a utility room, walk-in larder and guest cloakroom for added convenience. The first floor continues to impress and provides four double bedrooms, all of which benefit from eaves storage and two well-appointed bathrooms. Bedroom two further displays a walk-in wardrobe. A particularly striking feature of this property is the gorgeous outlook over the gardens and the adjoining countryside. Externally Bourne Cottage is nestled on a plot in excess of 0.8 acres, surrounded by verdant countryside. The landscaped garden has designated sections with raised vegetable planters, an extensive lawn and a wildlife garden enjoying a firepit area. The property benefits from excellent frontage for parking and a single garage.

The village of Twyford is set in the picturesque South Downs National Park, providing an abundance of countryside walks, access to the village water meadows and walks along the famous Monarch’s Way. The village enjoys a wide range of facilities including a post office/shop, cafe, hairdressers, primary school, Twyford Preparatory School, play parks, a doctor's surgery, pharmacy and two public houses. The Bugle pub/restaurant is very highly regarded. The property also benefits from being close to Hunter Park, which provides recreational facilities, a popular cricket club, football pitch, static outdoor gym equipment, tennis courts and a children's playground.

Connections are excellent as the A34, M3, M27 and Winchester and Shawford Railway Stations are within easy reach, with Shawford train station only a short walk from the property.
