ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Approached by a sweeping drive with turning circle, Thornton House is a Georgian style property of over 4,200 sq. ft. The current vendors have significantly extended and improved the property and the accommodation throughout is generous. The numerous reception rooms allow a real flexibility, which the vendors have found that it is an excellent house for entertaining. The large kitchen / breakfast room is very much the heart of the property with French Windows leading onto the terrace and garden beyond.
Everything here is about scale, and the beautiful gardens to the front and rear of the property are no different. They are mostly laid to lawn and planted with specimen trees and herbaceous borders.
There is a separate one bedroom cottage above the garaging. In addition there is an outdoor pool and a large paddock.
