Twyford House, Charing Hill, Charing, TN27

Impeccably presented, stylish and characterful, Twyford House is a beautiful white weather boarded, colonial style, detached four-bedroom family home overlooking Charing village. Imagine stepping out of your driveway each morning, directly onto the spectacular North Downs Way, a 153-mile National Trail, fulfilling all your walking, trail running or cycling choices. Or, if you are feeling more chilled than energetic, take a stroll through country lanes to the local award-winning vineyard.

Twyford House was constructed between 1896 and 1906 as a country retreat, with later complementary additions. This home has been meticulously renovated and improved by the vendors over the past 25 years, blending rural charm and modern convenience, with ample space for growing families and beautiful gardens for outdoor entertaining. It has a wonderful blend of character features including original panelling, cornicing, exposed timber flooring, cast iron radiators and studded oak front door. Numerous improvements include replacement roofs, solid wood Georgian style windows, water treatment plant, shaker style kitchen with granite worktops, luxury fitted bathroom suites by CP Hart, Lusso Stone & Fired Earth along with extensive storage space throughout.

The light-filled accommodation comprises entrance hall with stunning five sided bay window and seating, large living room with log burner, bay window and French doors to the garden, opening through to dining area which leads to a family room. Beyond this a superb 30' kitchen/breakfast room gives access via double and triple French doors to both front courtyard and rear garden. From the dining area or reception hall you head through to a useful study and from this a ground floor bathroom. To the first floor you are met by a landing with plentiful storage, two bedrooms both with fitted storage, wardrobes and airing cupboard, a beautiful family bathroom with free-standing Lusso Stone bath, plus a further dual aspect bedroom with dressing area and space and potential to create an en-suite. The principal bedroom boasts fitted wardrobes with sliding glass doors and a luxury en-suite shower room with walk in shower, marble basin and mosaic tiled walls.

Twyford House enjoys a wrap-around 0.3 acre landscaped plot with large gated driveway, private courtyard, 3 patios, garden with established trees, hedging, shrubberies and two lawned areas with a garden work room, painted shed and Gabriel Ash Greenhouse. The entire plot benefits from close board and picket fencing.
