Property Information | High Street, Twyford, SO21

A magnificent Grade II Listed house with accommodation of circa 3000 ft².

The Property:
Palatial home with opulent space and a glorious outlook, forming a substantial section of a converted manor house in the popular village of Twyford. Wing House is a magnificent section of the historic Twyford House, which dates from the early 18th Century, with sympathetic later Victorian additions. The property provides excellent living accommodation with a modern family kitchen and separate breakfast room. Spanning the full width of the property and located to the rear is the magnificent reception room; a rounded full height bay window provides for exceptional views over the country garden. The property also has a mezzanine level which works well as an informal sitting room, office or playroom. There is a small basement which is currently used as a utility space.

To the first floor there are four exceptional double bedrooms, the principal suite located to the rear to take advantage of the shapely bay window and glorious views. There are three bathrooms and an additional study (or fifth bedroom).

At the front of the property is a large gravel turning area with private parking for three cars and single garage and a gated front entrance. To the rear of the house is the wonderful, south-facing lawned garden with well stocked borders. Perfect for entertaining, there is a large, raised patio area surrounded by beautiful flowers with stairs leading down to the lawn. The garden stretches west towards the church and enjoys views of the surrounding area with access at the bottom of the garden to the church and water meadows as well as the wider village of Twyford.

The Location:
Wing House is located approximately 150 yards from the picturesque Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin, a short distance from the centre of the village of Twyford. The village amenities include a Post Office with a local shop and café, Doctors' Surgery, chemist, car garage, two public houses and a cricket ground. The nearby historic City of Winchester provides first class recreational, shopping and cultural facilities, with the larger hub of Southampton being only a short drive away.

With regards to schooling, Wing House is very well-situated being close to the highly regarded Twyford Preparatory School which is only a few minutes' walk from the house. In Winchester you have Winchester College, Pilgrims Prep School and St. Swithun's School for Girls. The city also offers a number of outstanding state schools including Westgate Primary and Secondary Schools as well as the much sought-after Peter Symonds Sixth Form College. King Edward School in Southampton is also within easy reach.

The property is conveniently located with both Winchester and Shawford mainline train stations being nearby, the latter being only a short 10-to-15-minute walk away across The Water Meadows providing an easy commute to London Waterloo. The M3, only 1.5 miles distant, provides access to the South Coast, New Forest and London. Nearby also is the A34 for Oxford, The Midlands and the West Country via the A303.

Directions:
Leave Winchester in a southerly direction along Southgate Street/St. Cross Road and at the Bushfield roundabout take the first exit to the next roundabout. Exit first left and drop down to the traffic lights turning right for Twyford (beneath the M3). Follow the road past Hockley Golf Club and proceed for a short distance into the village. Pass Church Lane on your right-hand side and the property will be found on the right-hand side.
