Down End has been a superb family home for the last 30 years. It sits in a peaceful position in the village of Twyford and offers an exceptional opportunity to create your dream country home. Generously proportioned with lots of character, the property has evolved with the current owners and is now ready for its next chapter. The house provides light filled living spaces and a layout that offers flexibility. The ground floor comprises a welcoming and sizeable entrance hall from which the sitting room and dining room are accessed. The sitting room is a lovely double aspect room with a large bay window, hardwood flooring, double doors out onto a veranda. There is a central fireplace with a wood burning stove making this a cosy space in the winter. The dining room is another bright room, which overlooks the garden. Adjacent to the dining room is a useful study. A door leads through to a butler’s kitchen, scullery and walk in larder and utility room – fantastic practical spaces, before entering the kitchen/breakfast room which has a central 2 oven Aga and built in dresser. Steps lead down from here into the family room, which has vaulted ceilings and exposed brick work and double doors at either end of the room, out onto the terrace. There is also a discreetly positioned wine cellar accessed from here. A cloakroom and a separate wet room complete the accommodation on the ground floor. A solid oak staircase leads up to a half landing with a lovely seating area with built in storage underneath. The landing provides access to the five bedrooms, three of which are dual aspect.
