Thickets House is a quite beautiful and highly distinctive Victorian period home set in approximately 2.8 acres of secluded gardens, offering seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, and over 6000 sq ft of living space.

This magnificent building, with elaborately finished brick and flint elevations, is brimming with period character inside and out, including high ceilings with ornate coving, wood paneling, fireplaces, sash windows, an impressive main staircase, and comes complete with the original servants bell system and back stairs.

The main interior rooms are impressively spacious, with the ground floor featuring four separate reception rooms - a sitting room, a family room, a dining room, and a study/snug. The main reception hall is particularly generous with a grand staircase and fireplace. The good sized kitchen includes an oil fired Aga, with a similarly spacious utility room adjacent. There is also a Victorian greenhouse, a cellar, and a number of storage rooms and cupboards.

The generous first floor landing also impresses with light flooding in from the large roof skylight. There are seven separate bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large first floor kitchen (ideal for multi generational living), plus another staircase leading to an attic room that lends itself to a variety of uses and gives access to extensive attic storage.

The house is approached by a crescent shaped in and out shingle driveway with access to a large garage/outbuilding. The gardens are stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and are screened by numerous trees offering an excellent degree of privacy. To the side is an established lawn and a heated swimming pool with a paved seating area. To the rear is a further lawned area with a number of fruit trees, while the front of the property overlooks another extensive lawned area flanked by more mature trees and plants.

Whilst Thickets House is a perfectly comfortable, liveable property, it would benefit considerably from a comprehensive refurbishment.
