Description

Thornette Cottage
The principal accommodation, known as Thornette Cottage, centres around a welcoming dining/sitting room featuring an attractive fireplace with a multi-fuel stove. A particularly distinctive feature of this space is a series of bespoke built-in display shelves, thoughtfully designed to showcase and catalogue archaeological artefacts discovered during the property's renovation, with useful storage cupboards below.

Beyond, a superb kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, complemented by Mirostone work surfaces and a selection of integrated Bosch and Hotpoint appliances, including a dishwasher, induction hob with contemporary extractor hood, microwave, electric oven, tall fridge and separate tall freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room and cloakroom provide practical ancillary space, complete with a solid wood worktop and Belfast sink.

A particularly impressive dual-aspect living room spans the rear of the property, enjoying direct access to the terrace and gardens, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.

A turning solid wood staircase rises to the first floor accommodation, comprising three bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while the two further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath. In addition, a substantial boarded eaves room provides valuable supplementary storage space.


Thorn Cottage
The front door opens into an entrance hall, from which the accommodation flows seamlessly.

Thorn Cottage provides fully self-contained accommodation whilst remaining connected to the main residence, offering an ideal arrangement for dependent relatives, guests or potential holiday letting, subject to any necessary consents.

The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room fitted with Mirostone work surfaces and a Belfast sink, alongside an attractive original fireplace incorporating a bread oven and multi-fuel stove. Integrated appliances include an induction hob with extractor hood over, electric oven, dishwasher, washer-dryer, under-counter fridge and separate freezer.

A cosy triple-aspect sitting/dining room provides a light and welcoming reception space with a window seat, centred around an open fireplace that forms an attractive focal point.

The first floor comprises two bedrooms together with a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, completing this charming and versatile cottage accommodation.


Outside
Outside, the property is set within beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens extending to approximately 0.27 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with paved pathways that encircle the house, while a substantial south-facing terrace provides an exceptional setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

Access is gained via a traditional five-bar gate opening onto a gravel driveway, which sweeps along the front lawn, enhanced by a raised circular feature bed, and leads to a generous parking area in front of an oak-framed double carport that incorporates solar panels and two electric 7kW vehicle charging points.

A particular feature of the property is the detached timber summer house/garden office with adjoining garden store. Benefitting from power and a covered terrace, this highly versatile space offers excellent potential for home working, hobbies or leisure use.
