Constructed of Blue Lias stone beneath a Welsh slate roof, Thurston blends traditional materials with meticulous contemporary design, offering circa 3,000 Sq Ft. of stylish, spacious accommodation and period charm throughout.

Recently renovated to a high standard by the current owners, the house combines original architectural features with modern comforts. With generous interiors and landscaped gardens, Thurston represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully restored character home.

Guide Price £875,000

Accommodation
A pair of large painted timber doors open into a dramatic entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of the property. Engineered oak flooring and exposed beams continue throughout the ground floor, giving a cohesive and warm finish. A cloakroom sits conveniently beyond the hallway. Additionally, there is plenty of built in storage, including a walk-in coats cupboard.

Oak double doors open into the principal reception room, which is a large, dual-aspect sitting room and perfect for both entertaining and relaxing, with French doors opening onto the gravel terrace and gardens beyond. The space is finished in Farrow & Ball tones and features a multi-fuel burner set within a striking stone feature wall.

Adjoining the sitting room is a comfortable snug or TV room—ideal for informal evenings with further French doors out to the rear, perfect for enjoying the garden on warmer days.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room form the central hub of the home. With wood floors and extensive wall and base cabinetry beneath granite worktops, the kitchen includes a four-door electric Aga with hotplate, Siemens warming drawer, and integrated wine fridge. A central island topped in solid oak offers informal seating and a natural gathering point.

The generous dining area provides ample room for a large table, with a relaxed sitting area beyond and painted fitted shelving offering attractive display and storage. From here, French doors lead once again to the garden. Adjacent is a large utility/boot room with double Belfast sink and full laundry provisions.

A bespoke oak staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing, where exposed timbers and wool carpets set a stylish tone. Off the landing are four excellent double bedrooms, with plenty of built in storage provisions and a walk in linen/airing cupboard.

The principal suite deserves special mention for its dual-aspect light, exposed beams, and striking freestanding bath, together with extensive wardrobe storage and a dressing area. Bedroom two benefits from an ensuite shower room, while the family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and features a freestanding bath, bidet, vanity basin and stylish wall panelling.
A large loft, currently undeveloped, offers potential for further accommodation (subject to necessary consents).

Outside
Thurston is approached via a timber gate from the village lane. A gravelled parking area provides space for several vehicles. The detached double garage includes an up-and-over electric door and a mezzanine level for additional storage.

The gardens have been carefully landscaped to complement the house, with year-round interest provided by a mix of flowering shrubs, established borders, fruit trees (including pear and crab apple), and ornamental planting.

Multiple seating areas, paved and gravelled terraces, and a feature pergola adorned with climbing roses, offer delightful spots for outdoor dining and entertaining. Stone walls, lawned areas, and an ornamental pond add structure and depth to the garden. Plenty of outside lighting and power points also.

To the rear is a further gravelled section with wooden gates, offering additional access and parking if required.

Location
Thurston is located in the sought-after village of Kingsdon, within a conservation area and offering a vibrant community atmosphere. The village benefits from a community-run shop, a 300-year-old thatched pub, allotments, village hall, and a cricket ground, along with the charming All Saints Church. The Glenda Spooner Horse Rescue Centre is located nearby.

The historic towns of Somerton and Castle Cary are within easy reach, with wider amenities and cultural opportunities available in Yeovil and Sherborne.

Transport Links
