Thorndale House, a rare, spectacular brand-new three-bedroom detached home, discreetly set within a boutique development in the heart of Blockley. RSVP to attend the Opening Launch: 10th Jan

Description

Thorndale House is an architectural triumph in the heart of Blockley, one of the Cotswolds’ most coveted villages. Meticulously curated by IMRE Property Developments in collaboration with Tyack Architects, this home is a true rarity - where a fusion of cutting-edge design and exquisitely sophisticated interiors delivers an unparalleled living experience. Tucked away at the rear of the exclusive Haberdashers development of just five homes, Thorndale House is the hidden gem, offering privacy, elegance, and a tranquil garden retreat.

This astonishing three-bedroom residence is thoughtfully designed to harmonise with the natural contours of the land, with its principal living space elevated to the first floor. Arriving at the property, the construction is notable for its hand-dressed stone refined by Ashlar detailing, before driving through to an automatically illuminated cedar-clad carport, with two additional parking spaces externally. Upon entry, you are immediately captivated by a dramatic oak-tread floating staircase with glazed balustrade and bespoke lighting.

The ground floor warmly invites residents to place their outerwear into the adjoining boot and laundry room, before discovering two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with high-grade pile carpet and fitted wardrobes, complemented by indulgent en suite shower rooms. These spaces boast magnificent finishes - Mandarin stone tiles, oak or walnut vanities, heated illuminated mirrors, and touches of decadent gold detailing. Central to this level lies a lavish, light-filled room framed by Crittall-style doors, offering versatility as a gym or hobby space, complete with Sonos speaker integration and mirrored storage. Opposite, a serene courtyard awaits through a glazed door, providing a private escape and practical access to cycle and bin storage.

Ascending to the first floor, natural light floods the landing through a striking Crittall-style glazed wall, leading into an extraordinary kitchen-dining area. Here, an oak beam meets bold glazing, the space enriched by a feature bay window. This triple-aspect open-plan area boasts fluted oak cabinetry and a statement island topped in premium quartz. The island incorporates a Bora induction hob with integrated extraction - perfect for the cook to remain interactive with family or guests, bringing the best of everyday living and entertaining. The dining space glows under Rowen lighting and connects directly to the terrace and elevated garden areas.

Moving through to the sitting room, the vaulted ceiling creates an enchanting sense of height, complemented by automated rain-sensor Velux windows and south-facing retractable bi-fold doors. These open onto an extensive terrace, elegantly finished with composite decking and seamlessly connected to the kitchen and dining area. The terrace links to the courtyard below via a striking steel spiral staircase and to the garden above via illuminated oak sleeper steps. This spectacular sitting room exudes grandeur, with ornamental cabinetry flanking a bespoke Cotswold stone fireplace and Dik Geurts wood-burning stove, all enhanced by a statement beam and accent lighting.

Finally, ascend past an imposing Eichholtz chandelier to the principal suite - a sanctuary of elegance. Here, the unique curvature of the en suite wall draws the eye, complemented by a showpiece RV Astley chandelier. Inside the en suite, the shower nestled within the curved wall takes centre stage, adorned with mosaic tiles and a tasteful gold rainfall shower, alongside a freestanding bath - an oasis of refinement and style.
