Thorne House, a Grade II listed period property steeped in history, was once the village blacksmith's shop and a public house. This exceptionally spacious home offers approximately 5,000 square feet of accommodation, including two kitchens, two reception rooms, six bedrooms, and four substantial outbuildings. It is ideal for dual occupancy or as an expansive and versatile family home.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a generous living and dining room featuring an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and a second fireplace recess. From this room, a door leads to the rear hall, where stairs ascend to the first floor, and another door opens to the rear courtyard. The first kitchen, recently updated with modern cabinetry, includes a useful larder, space for a dishwasher, and a large triple electric Aga.
The second kitchen is spacious and has been recently refitted, blending character and modernity with matching cabinetry, wooden countertops, and exposed original beams. Adjacent to the kitchen is the sixth bedroom, a well-sized double. Another inner hall houses a large storage cupboard and a second staircase that ascends to the first floor. At the top of this staircase is a remarkably impressive family/living room, measuring 40 feet in length, featuring a central wood-burning stove, and double doors that overlook the courtyard and garden.
From this room, a door leads to a landing, where you'll find the fifth bedroom—a spacious double with fitted wardrobes. Also on this landing is a shower room with a shower, WC, and washbasin. Another door on this landing opens to the fourth bedroom, a single room that also provides access to four additional bedrooms. These four bedrooms can also be accessed via a separate staircase at the front of the property. This staircase leads to a large central landing area, which provides access to three more double bedrooms and another shower room.
Externally, the property offers just as much as it does internally, with several large stone and cob outbuildings. All outbuildings can be accessed from the central courtyard, but an internal door from the hallway off the second kitchen leads to the large workshop. At the rear of this workshop is a covered outdoor area with views over the surrounding countryside.
The second outbuilding, formerly a forge, still retains its original forge, bellows, and chimneys. A wooden ladder staircase leads to the first floor, offering additional storage and preserving the original paint from when carts were painted there.
In the centre of the courtyard is another impressive storage barn, formerly used as a pottery studio, which could be repurposed for various uses STPC.
At the front of the property, bi-fold doors open to an integral garage with a single rear door leading to the courtyard. Adjacent to the garage, double doors provide access to a covered passageway leading to the rear courtyard and garden. Above the passageway, a loft accessed by a ladder offers additional storage space and could potentially be incorporated into the main living area STPC.
The south-facing garden enjoys far-reaching rural views and features a concrete hardstanding, a lawn, a pond, various mature shrubs and plants, and a large lawn area, all benefiting from the stunning scenery.
Thorne House is a property that truly must be seen to be fully appreciated, offering a rich history, vast accommodation, and numerous large outbuildings.
