The house dates from the 18th century and offers elegant accommodation extending to more than 4,400 square feet. The property has been sensitively modernised to combine the amenities of modern living whilst retaining a wealth of characterful features including detailed cornicing and original fireplaces, large sash windows, high ceilings and large well-proportioned rooms. Outside, the property features attractive rendered elevations and benefits from a private gated driveway, walled gardens and approximately 0.9 acres of grounds. Thorverton House sits in a highly desirable village position and enjoys far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
Accommodation - A grand entrance hall leads through to the property’s four ground floor reception rooms that feature exposed wooden floorboards and offer flexible accommodation options. The similarly proportioned sitting room and dining room both feature fireplaces fitted with woodburning stoves and enjoy large sash windows allowing for plenty of natural light. Further attractive reception space can be found in the family room that has full-height windows and French doors that open out onto the rear gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room has tiled flooring and offers plenty of storage, as well as an Aga, a butler sink and space for a large breakfast table.
