Twyford is an elegant red-brick Victorian house, built 1895
The house was built by James Longley and Co., one of England’s largest and most reputable builders in the south-east at the time. The house is constructed to a very high standard, with some walls three feet thick in places and measures over 6,400 square feet internally (excluding the two floor double garage).
Over the last 5 years Twyford has had a complete refurbishment, costing over £1/2 million and the EPC rating has improved from F to C.
