Castle Street, Thornbury, BS35

This lovely period townhouse has style and character in abundance, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out over three floors. It enjoys a ‘central’ location on Castle Street, just a gentle walk up to the High Street with all its shops, restaurants and cafes, museum and library. Not to mention the leisure centre a little further afield. Rural rambles also start almost just across the road, on out over the fields towards Kington and beyond. Moving through to the rear of the house, you step out over the paved terrace onto a lengthy lawned garden with an additional seating area at the far end - a perfect spot for the afternoon and evening sun. Ground-floor accommodation includes entrance hall, living room with wood-burner and the family room behind. This opens into the smart fitted kitchen behind which overlooks the garden. On the first-floor, the largest bedroom is at the front of the house and bedroom two is at the rear, both featuring period fireplaces. The family shower room is also on this level. At the top of the house are two further double bedrooms, one with a generous walk-in storage space and the other with an en-suite – complete with roll-top bath and shower – plus interesting views from the windows. Practical benefits include gas central heating and double glazing. The photos alone don’t illustrate everything this lovely home has to offer, so if you are looking for something special, close to amenities yet with that ‘country’ feel – do come and look!
