Set in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, nestled along an immaculate chalk stream and surrounded by protected natural landscape, Twisles is a remarkable Grade II listed home believed to be over 300 years old. Close to Stockbridge high street.

Pre-dating all neighbouring properties and constructed using traditional cob, flint, oak timberwork and combed wheat thatch, this property is an exceptional example of vernacular English architecture.

Lovingly extended in 2003, the sympathetic addition remains architecturally distinct while complementing the original building. Rendered breeze block construction and a handmade clay tile roof provide structural integrity while preserving the historical aesthetic. Every detail has been considered with respect to the property’s heritage.

The interiors are a testament to bespoke craftsmanship and quality. The handmade kitchen, crafted from English Elm — sourced from trees believed to have fallen during the Great Storm of 1987 — features carefully selected matched veneers (see photos). The staircase, another showpiece of artisanal work, features treads made from a different hardwood on each step, with recycled oak beam newel posts, adding narrative and visual interest.

Throughout the property, the joinery continues this commitment to detail: External doors are solid oak with oak frames and heritage-style ironmongery. Internal doors are oak board and ledge construction with oak linings, architraves, and elegant chrome Suffolk latches. Natural limestone runs through the kitchen, dining room, hall, cloakroom and bathroom, offering a grounded, enduring aesthetic.

Twisles occupies an enviable position along a beautifully maintained stretch of river, under the care of the Houghton Fishing Club one of the oldest and most respected fishing clubs in the country, founded in 1822. The area is believed to lie within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), home to rich and diverse wildlife including kingfishers, egrets, herons, swans, moorhens, ducks, and on occasion, even otters.

Despite its rural tranquillity, Twisles is just a short walk from Stockbridge High Street one of Hampshire’s most desirable and vibrant villages, known for its independent shops, excellent restaurants, traditional pubs, and access to the famous River Test.

Whether you're captivated by its architectural heritage, its riverside setting, or its deeply considered design and materials, Twisles offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a timeless piece of rural England all within easy reach of village life.
