An exceptional Grade II* Listed Queen Anne former Vicarage in a stunning setting on the edge of this sought after village.

Description

Mildmay House, the former vicarage to the Church of St Mary The Virgin in Twyford, is situated on the southern edge of the village with wonderful west-facing rural views towards the water meadows of the River Itchen. This immaculate Grade II* Listed former vicarage with its impressive symmetrical Queen Anne façade offers accommodation typical of a property of this era, which has been beautifully and sympathetically modernised by the existing owners to now offer a first class family house of exceptional quality.

The extensive accommodation extends to approximately 5,156 sq.ft. arranged classically on the ground floor with all the principal reception rooms coming off the reception hall. The large drawing room is formidable with its high ceiling, large fireplace, ornate cornicing and doors out on to the garden; the dining room, equally impressive, again with a door out to the garden and again with features typical of a property of this era. There is a large separate sitting room, beautiful kitchen and breakfast room, snug, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. An area above the garage has created an excellent laundry/store room, and in the basement is a superb wine cellar which has been expertly racked and beautifully lit, creating a further feature to this
wonderful house.

On the first floor there is a superb principal bedroom with bathroom and adjoining dressing room, two further large double bedrooms including a guest suite with an en suite shower room, and a large separate bathroom and separate cloakroom. On the second floor there are three further excellent double bedrooms.

The property is approached through electric wrought iron gates leading into a large gravelled courtyard area. The garage can be found adjacent to the house. There is a superb barn with access to the lane which could be used for further garaging or indeed, subject to the necessary planning consents, converted for other uses. The barn forms part of the coach house, which has been converted to create a wonderful office and ancillary accommodation to the main house in the form of a well proportioned 1-bedroom cottage. The cottage has a double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sitting room with a connecting door to the office, the office could be incorporated within the cottage if larger accommodations were required. On the ground floor of the coach house is a separate workshop/stable. At the eastern corner of the courtyard is a superb greenhouse, and steps lead up from the courtyard to the front gardens of the house, with pathways leading to both the side door and the main front door of the property.
