Property Description
THE PROPERTY Tucked away on a quiet private gravelled lane, shared by just seven homes, this beautifully extended three-bedroom terraced cottage blends period charm with a striking contemporary renovation, right in the heart of the sought-after village of Twyford.
A rose and wisteria-clad porch sets the tone on arrival, leading directly into the inviting sitting room. Bathed in natural light from a large bay window overlooking planted beds to the front, this characterful space features solid oak wooden floors and a focal fireplace with a wood-burning stove-perfect for cosy evenings.
Thoughtful redesign by the current owner has transformed the former dining room into two highly practical and stylish spaces. One half now houses a stunning contemporary shower room, finished with eye-catching tiling, a rainfall shower and a Crittall-style screen, while the other forms a generous utility room with excellent storage and plumbing for laundry appliances.
To the rear, the impressive kitchen / living / dining room is the true heart of the home. Flooded with light from a wall of glazing, bi-folding doors and overhead Velux windows, the room benefits from soaring gabled ceilings, stone floor, and a seamless connection to the garden. Original features are sensitively retained, whilst modern comforts include underfloor heating, extensive fitted cabinetry and wooden worktops. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge freezer, and there is a large five burner, two oven range cooker, creating a sleek yet welcoming contemporary living space ideal for both everyday life and entertaining.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a feature fireplace, along with a large sash window offering far-reaching views across water meadows and open countryside. There are two further bedrooms-one double and one single-alongside a stylish modern family bathroom, naturally lit by a window. Additional storage is provided by a loft space accessed via hatch and ladder.
Outside, the pretty and secluded rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a peaceful retreat. An Indian sandstone sun terrace, accessed directly from the kitchen, leads up to a lawn framed by gently curving flower beds stocked with mature shrubs and seasonal bulbs. The left-hand boundary fencing has recently been replaced, and to the rear of the garden sits a large storage shed and a gated access leading through to the garage and rear parking area.
A rare opportunity to enjoy period charm, contemporary living and a prime village location, all within one of Hampshire's most desirable traditional English villages.
