Unique garden layout




The Walled Garden is a stunning property in the former grounds of Twinstead Hall and its Georgian walled garden. Set in a plot of around one acre (subject to survey), the property offers luxurious accommodation and fabulous grounds.

An entrance vestibule, accessed via a solid oak door, leads to an impressive reception hall. The main reception area is split-level and semi-open plan, comprising a dining room with French doors leading to the south facing walled garden.

Open studwork leads to the drawing room, with a large red brick fireplace with a Morso wood burning stove.

French doors open to a triple aspect garden room with vaulted ceiling, Farrow and Ball painted units with pine surfaces, a Godin multi fuel stove and French doors lead to the pool garden and its west facing terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is extensively fitted with a range of handmade units with granite work surfaces. Integral appliances include a Neff steam oven, Flacon range cooker, extractor hood and dishwasher.

An attractive feature arch leads to a preparation/storage area, with handmade fitted units and beech work surfaces. Beyond this is a laundry room with stable door to the walled garden.

Also on the ground floor are two lavish bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes and both with ensuite bath and shower facilities.

There is a further cloak/wet room, and the fourth ground floor bedroom doubles as a study, fitted with bespoke shelved bookcases.

A staircase in the reception hall leads to the principal suite on the first floor.

The property is approached via a private drive to a set of wrought iron gates, which lead to a gravel drive providing ample parking and to the double garage , which has office/storage space above and an ensuite shower room to the rear.

The drive is flanked by a formal garden with geomtertically laid out box hedges surrounding York stone features, with various planting including a herb garden.

To the right of the front door is a garden with Amdega gazebo, accessible from the kitchen/breakfast room.

Beyond the formal gardens is a kitchen garden with greenhouse.

Accessible from the dining room, the principal garden benefits from a 12ft Georgian brick wall and a solid oak gazebo. It features herbaceous beds, a summerhouse, and a York stone terrace and paths.

To the westerly aspect is the pool garden, accessed from the garden room, with tiled heated swimming pool, brick pool house, decked area and a further dining area.

Adjacent to the pool are areas of lawn with brick pathways, a Gabriel Ash summerhouse and log store.
