Morton Street, Thornbury, BS35

Nestled in a semi-rural setting to the north of Thornbury adjacent to open farmland, Silverhill Barn, a unique and spacious home, offers an exclusive country lifestyle within easy reach all the neighbouring market town has to offer. It sits at the head of circa 0.79 acres combining landscaped gardens and an adjoining field - the elevated terrace a perfect spot for enjoying a barbecue and a sunset, whilst enjoying the panoramic views. Everything has been carefully crafted to blend the historic charm of the original building with the high standards of modern living. A traditional front door opens into the central reception hall - the living room to the right, with a wood-burning stove, exposed stone-work, plus full-width windows and French doors allowing light to flood in. Opposite is the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, superbly appointed with granite surfaces and a central island - plenty of space for entertaining family and friends. This in turn leads straight into the vaulted triple-aspect garden room, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted outlook over the fields in front - really very special. The cloakroom completes the ground-floor and an oak staircase leads upstairs. The principal bedroom is simply stunning, with floor to ceiling windows providing views and light in abundance, along with a useful en-suite. There are two further double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, plus a fourth creating the perfect nursery or office space. Practical benefits include oil central heating (underfloor in Kit/Din/Fam/Gdn Room) and double-glazing. The tree-lined driveway leads to both gravelled and block-paved parking areas and the garage/workshop provides plenty of storage and hobby space. A great family home and, if you are looking for just the right amount of ‘separation’ from things without being too ‘cut off’, this could be just the place!

Thornbury is a thriving market town surrounded by beautiful open countryside, situated to the north of the City of Bristol and the M4/M5 interchange, with excellent commuting links via the motorway network and by rail from Bristol Parkway Station (Paddington/South Wales).
