Thimbles is an attractive late Victorian village home on a quiet road within walking distance of the wide range of village amenities. It retains attractive period features throughout to include dado rails, picture rails, panelled pine doors, open fireplaces, and offers hugely versatile family accommodation arranged over three floors.

An arch topped door with stained glass accesses a lobby with a tiled floor, beyond which is the inviting entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The sitting room has a bay window overlooking the front garden, and a brick fireplace with a herringbone hearth prides a focal point. The dining room is situated to the rear, overlooking the back garden, and has a fireplace with a carved wooden surround and tiled hearth, and a useful understairs storage cupboard.
