Description

First time sale for this classic 1970's house, designed, built and lived in by the family since creating a proven pedigree as a family home. Well situated along the lane and with a lovely wide frontage, new owners have the chance to create a 'high end' Thorndon residence, subject of course to obtaining Planning Permission.

The current owners in 1965 bought the adjacent Rose Cottage on moving to the village. Ten or so years later with Planning Permission obtained to build in the garden a start was made to construct Thornleigh into which the now larger family moved. The house has remained in the family ever since. It is now though time to part with the property and what an opportunity it is to acquire a prime location within the village. The invitingly wide frontage suggests great scope for redevelopment of the existing house subject to Planning Permission being obtained. The current internal configuration includes two reception rooms along with kitchen and sizeable hallway within the main structure along with three bedrooms above and bathroom now turned to a shower room. The garage alongside, larger than typical single garages has rooms behind in addition to further width of plot whereby the house may grow. The current accommodation has been particularly well kept and is of an exceptional proportion albeit new owners will carry out refurbishments. Windows are double glazed with PVCu frames and electric heating installed. Outside, the splendid plot accommodates the house centrally with space all around and includes a collection of sheds beside the garage along with a larger workshop to the rear.

Location

Thornleigh faces south and central to the plot, nicely back from the lane behind an established low hedge. A driveway leads off the road enabling good vehicular access. As with much of the village, the lane contains a mix of property types and ages creating an attractive street scene. The village is well served and includes a Community Store along with The Black Horse Pub, Village Hall, Parish Church and a well regarded Primary School within Hartismere catchment. Bus Routes link Thorndon with the surrounding area and the road system allows easy access to towns and villages such as Eye, Debenham, Stowmarket and Woodbridge along with Diss on the Norfolk Suffolk border. The mainline rail station at Diss provides a commuter service to London Liverpool Street. Neighbouring Eye provides a wide range of shops for everyday needs along with the Health Centre, Library, Community Art Centre and High School with Sixth Form Centre. Equally, Debenham lies within easy reach to the south providing similar facilities with Stowmarket which has an alternative mainline rail station to Cambridge and Kings Cross to Scotland.

Direction

Thorndon is initially easily reached via the A140 in addition to an easy route from both Eye and Debenham. By approach from the A140 enter the village turning right at the crossroads at Brisewell Green and then taking the next left at Stanwell Green. Thornleigh will be found on the left.
