THE PROPERTY
Knowle Thatch dates from the 1960’s and is traditionally built in artificial Cotswold Stone (Bradstone) beneath a recently thatched roof with distinctive eye brow dormers. The property offers versatile and well-proportioned accommodation over two floors with cellarage. The entire property was re thatched by a Master thatcher in 2021 to include a highly decorative ridge. Knowle Thatch lies within the village Conservation Area at the heart of Dorsington with wrap around gardens extending to about 0.7 of an acre with pleasant aspects towards neighbouring period houses and the village Church. The property is largely original and although presented in immaculate order offers scope for some modernisation to suit a new purchasers’ tastes. The sizeable living accommodation extends to over 3,700 sq. ft with large window openings allowing light to fill the rooms. The accommodation is accessed up a short flight of steps into a welcoming reception hall with access to the main reception rooms of the house all set across the from of the property. There is a particularly spacious triple aspect drawing room with a Baxi fireplace, a double aspect dining room for entertaining a sitting room or further bedroom with fireplace and feature arched alcove. The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with extensive cupboards and drawers housing a Range Cooker as well as other appliances with a terracotta tiled floor and a traditional walk-in pantry. There is ample space for a breakfast table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen is large utility with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, double bowl sink unit, separate cupboard and WC and back door. The bedroom and bathroom accommodation is set out over two floor levels with the main bedrooms accessed via a staircase from the rear hall. There is a large first floor landing with space for a study area with access to a loft room ideal for storage but with scope to convert. The large principal bedroom is West facing with a walk in dressing room whilst the guest bedroom is double aspect. The family bathroom has been recently improved and features a large walk-in shower, separate bath and linen closet. On the ground floor are two further bedrooms and a shower room. The rear hall provides access to a lift up trap door with stairs down to a suite of cellar rooms having reduced head height.
To the East of the house an attractive detached double garage built in the same manner as to the house with traditional up and over door and WC. An internal staircase gives access to a large first floor room with windows to the gable ends being useful for numerous purposes.

Gardens and Grounds
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property and are beautifully landscaped bordered by a combination of mature hedges and fencing with specimen trees and shrubs and immaculate lawns. There are two timber stores and various areas of terracing ideal for al fresco summer dining. To the front of house is a substantial parking forecourt set behind timber five bar gates leading to the garage itself.
