Twittocks, Ripple, Gloucestershire, GL20

An immaculate detached family home nestled within the most glorious grounds of circa 2 acres with a Dutch barn, a triple carport, and wonderful views.

Private grounds, countryside and views are the backdrop to this superb family home, which nestles beautifully within its own mature grounds and exceptional plot of circa 2 acres made up of a paddock and private gardens.  Twittocks House is a delightful detached property with many excellent features, in particular the practical floorplan that flows well, making it ideal for family life and entertaining with generous rooms that extend to circa 2700 Sq Ft, each one designed entirely for its immediate views and countryside setting.

Entrance is via a welcoming and spacious hallway, which is central to the accommodation, introducing each reception room. To the front elevation is a study and cloakroom, and to the rear a spacious living room.  This room, with a log-burning stove, enjoys views over the grounds and doors that open to the terrace to connect inside to outside.  A separate dining room shares the same views and direct access to the outside as the living room; it also has the benefit of a log-burning stove.  The kitchen can be accessed from the dining room and hallway; the heart of the home, it runs the depth of the property and has been designed to overlook and open to the terrace and gardens, ideal for modern family living and outside dining.

The kitchen itself is well appointed with a range of modern-style units, integrated appliances, and a large breakfast island. Adjacent is a useful utility with rear access, for practicality, in addition to a shower room off the inner hall.

The bedroom accommodation continues impressively with the most beautiful principal bedroom complete with his and her's fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.  This tranquil space also features sliding doors that open to a private balcony, the perfect spot for a morning coffee, to enjoy the immediate views of the private gardens, paddocks and more broadly to The Malvern Hills.  This spot is ideal for a sunset or sunrise view.

Of the remaining bedrooms, two are double in size and are set to the rear, to enjoy the views of the grounds, whilst bedroom four enjoys the front and side elevation which overlooks the golf course.  All three bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Gardens and grounds:
The setting of Twittocks House and its grounds are fundamental to the overall feel of the property, comprising areas of formal garden and a paddock; in total the plot extends to over 2 acres. 

Beautifully private and mature, the house is positioned towards the front of the plot, with extensive parking to the front leading to the triple carport and double garage. A further driveway runs along the side of the property, continuing past the rear garden to the Dutch barn.

This arrangement is particularly well suited to those seeking equestrian or smallholding facilities, providing direct access for a tractor, horse lorry, or other agricultural vehicles straight to the barn.

The main area of garden flanks the sun terrace and provides a wonderful setting with an array of flower beds and well-stocked borders, mature planting, a covered hot tub and a vegetable garden.  There are strategic seating areas, designed at angles to enjoy the broader view.  The adjoining paddock is level and enclosed by mature hedging and fencing.  From here, there is a far-reaching view of The Malvern's, which provides an idyllic backdrop for the grounds and some of the rooms within the house.
