Quite the catch: Georgian package with River Itchen fishing rights includes grand three-storey house and wine cellar

Quintessentially Georgian Elms House in Twyford village, near Winchester, is quite a catch.

Walled gardens and grounds cover almost four acres. There’s a tennis court and swimming pool, along with 130 yards of fishing rights along the River Itchen.

Inside, the generous proportions of more than 7,000sq ft across three floors — plus a wine cellar — include an impressive hall warmed by an open fireplace and a grand staircase up to a master suite with glorious views.

There are six further bedrooms and three bathrooms. An elegant drawing room with space for a piano, plus a family room and a huge kitchen/breakfast room/orangery with stone floors complete the idyll.

It's for sale for £4.95 million. Through Hamptons International (01962 920265).
