Romsey Michelmersh

Twin Springs is an individual and thoughtfully designed country house, created by award-winning architects and held in the same ownership since its construction some 46 years ago. Set within an attractive rural setting in the sought-after village of Michelmersh, the property combines distinctive architecture with a wonderfully versatile layout and considerable scope for further enhancement.
The house is approached through a welcoming entrance hall, with cloakroom, leading to a generous double-aspect sitting room centred around a feature fireplace. A separate dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining, while the kitchen/breakfast room is particularly impressive, fitted with a bespoke range of contemporary units, marble work surfaces and integrated appliances.
Further ground-floor accommodation includes a front aspect study with wine cellar, a delightful sunroom and an impressive bedroom suite, complete with a modern en-suite shower room, providing excellent flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
On the first floor, a central landing leads to the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, together with three further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The accommodation is both practical and adaptable, with a generous proportion of the rooms enjoying views across the surrounding countryside.
There is also significant potential to extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, with the attached double garage offering the opportunity to create additional living or ancillary space.
A particularly appealing feature is the beautiful Grade II listed thatched barn adjoining the property. This striking historic building presents a rare opportunity for a variety of uses, subject to the appropriate planning and listed building consents.
With its distinguished architectural origins, bespoke interiors, long-standing ownership and exciting potential for further development, Twin Springs represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional and highly individual home in one of Hampshire’s most desirable rural settings.
OUTSIDE Approached via a peaceful country lane, a long private driveway sweeps through the grounds, passing an expansive open field before reaching the house, generous parking area and attached double garage. Immediately alongside the garage is the beautiful Grade II listed detached thatched barn, adding considerable character and further potential to the property.
The gardens and grounds extend to just over two acres and are predominantly laid to broad, level lawns, framed by mature trees and established hedging, creating an exceptional degree of privacy and seclusion. Adjoining the house is a terrace area incorporating a former swimming pool and a well, while a former tennis court, currently requiring restoration, offers the opportunity to reinstate this amenity.
Beyond the main gardens lies a small established orchard, planted with a selection of fruit trees. The grounds occupy an enviable position, with far-reaching and particularly beautiful views across the surrounding Hampshire countryside. The combination of space, privacy, mature landscaping and uninterrupted rural outlook makes the setting quite exceptional.
