Wisborough Green

Thornton Cottage enjoys an enviable location in one of West Sussex's most sought after villages within a stone's throw of both the village shop/post office and its quintessential village green which plays host to many events including cricket and hot air ballooning. This historic Grade II listed cottage boasts unusually large accommodation with reasonable ceiling heights throughout and has an attractive colour washed front elevation under a Horsham stone and clay tiled roof. The cottage has an array of fine character features including a plethora of exposed timbering and fine fireplace features to both the sitting room and dining room. Approached via a reception hall with solid oak flooring, the ground floor accommodation affords three spacious reception rooms and an attractive kitchen with a range of ornate timber panelled units and an oil fired Stanley cooking range which also provides the central heating and hot water. A large adjoining lobby doubles as a utility room. The first floor accommodation is equally impressive with a long landing accessing the four large bedrooms served by a contemporary bathroom/shower room.  

Outside, a wide shingled drive provides plenty of parking and leads to a detached garage. Adjoining the drive is a lawned area, yew tree and silver birch with well screened side boundaries. The garden to the rear, which enjoys almost total seclusion, forms another fine feature extending to approximately a fifth of an acre with paved entertaining areas, an expanse of lawn with borders and several fruit trees. Included in the sale is a substantial timber garden store.
