A characterful Grade II listed home in the heart of Thornbury with delightful walled gardens and a garage.

Description

A charming and very characterful, Grade II listed period home, impeccably refurbished over the years and with lovely walled gardens in a highly desirable central Thornbury location. The property has been modernised over the years with new electrics, boiler and well maintained sash windows.

This double fronted family home has a rich and unique heritage as is obvious as you approach the canopy porch. The entrance hall is wide and spacious with plenty of space for coats and boots. Two reception rooms sit either side of the hall, the sitting room and library/music room, both with sash windows in the bay. Both rooms are of a good size and cosy with original features including coving, ceiling rose and fireplaces.

Further down the hall on the right is spacious dining room with views onto the garden. The dining rooms adjoins the galley kitchen which is modern with integrated Neff appliances including an oven/grill and hob. The kitchen also benefits from modern timber worktops and a lovely colourful, tiled backsplash behind the hob. At the far end of the kitchen is a spacious pantry.

A timber staircase leads up to four bedrooms located off the first floor landing. All four bedrooms are light and bright with sash windows and are decent doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite bathroom whilst the other three bedrooms are serviced by a family shower room.

There is a substantial attic which has excellent conversion potential, subject to consent. On the lower ground floor is a large basement, ideal for storage or as a wine cellar.

The walled gardens to the rear are very private and level with lawned gardens, well stocked flower beds, a lovely Silver Birch tree, apple orchard, pergola, and a spacious al fresco dining terrace. There is also an external garden loo. The property has previously had planning granted for a single storey extension.

Adjoining the property is a spacious garage with electrics.
