Thruxton Farm, Cholderton, SP4

Offered to market for the first time in 40 years is Jackdaws, a lovely family home providing impressive and versatile living accommodation that has been vastly improved, reimagined and extended over the years. The landscaped gardens are a true feature of the home and extend to circa 0.40 of an acre.

The property has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically modernised to retain its character features which include the beautiful period fireplaces. The generous accommodation extends to circa 2500 square feet and is arranged over two floors. The expansive ground floor living accommodation is a particular feature and comprises a wonderful farmhouse style kitchen with ample wall and base units, AGA and integrated appliances. There is then plenty of space for an everyday dining table. Beyond there is a sizeable utility and boot room with a cloakroom and a door opening out to the driveway and garaging. There is then a generous dining room, study/playroom and a separate snug and formal sitting room, both with feature fireplaces, one of which has a wood burning stove. On the first floor there are five well-balanced double bedrooms; the principal bedroom of which has a modern en-suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms.

Outside

The established, landscaped garden is another superb feature of this family home.

There is a brick paved driveway that provides parking for several vehicles and gives access to the detached double garage. The garage itself has an electric up-and-over door and is oversize, thus offering a workshop space as well as storage. The garden to the rear is predominantly laid to lawn with simple shrub borders and ornamental specimen trees. To the far end is a pretty woodland area with colourful spring and autumn bulbs. The garden to the front of the home is more formal with a paved terrace, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, that leads onto a formal lawn with sweeping floral beds and borders. There is are useful large storage sheds and a greenhouse.
