Providing the perfect backdrop to The Wind in the Willows, Willow Bank Hall lies on the banks of the River Itchen on the edge of the village of Twyford.
Lying behind a period cottage and adjoining an old, partly walled orchard, the primarily west facing gardens are also bordered by the River Itchen and occupiers can enjoy single bank fishing rights.
Newly created, Willow Bank Hall is a unique and faithful copy of a medieval hall house, meticulously constructed with green oak timber and Purbeck stone.
The craftsmanship is exquisite from the casement windows, the thatched roof, stone chimney, exposed timbers, hand-crafted light fittings, French limestone and oak floors and solid oak doors and staircase.
There is a double height drawing room, dining room, hand-crafted fitted kitchen and utility room.
Upstairs the master suite has a dressing area and bathroom. A second double bedroom also has an en suite, with two more double rooms sharing the family bathroom. Jackson-Stops & Staff: 01962 844299.
