Adjacent to this is a further bedded area laid to gravel with mature box hedging and other shrubs and adjacent to this is an area laid to lawn providing a wonderful kerb appeal to this established family home.

To the rear of the property is an established garden being principally laid to lawn with a paved patio area led directly off the rear part of the property providing a wonderful space to both relax and entertain and is bordered by some well stocked bedding of lavender and other plants. To one side of the garden there is a mature tree and adjacent to this is a carefully designed natural area also known as a dry garden and is inspired by garden designer Beth Chatto, with a slate and gravelled pathway meandering through a collection of flowering plants, namely, alstroemeria, yellow rattle, wild geraniums. To the rear of the section is a cleverly designed formation of rocks surrounded by more mature plants giving a real sense of nature in this garden. To the rear of the garden is some further well stocked bedding together with mature shrubs and trees providing a green wall effect and a good level of privacy from the neighbouring property. Adjacent to this is a timber outbuilding accessed via a set of panelled glazed doors ideal for additional storage or use as a summerhouse and this is surrounded by a gravelled area and leading itself perfectly to a further entertaining space. Continuation of the lawn continues round the side of the garden where there is access from the utility room as well as a continuation of the patio providing a paved pathway leading round to this area where there is a further gravelled area bordered by timber sleepers providing a further shaded seating area and adjacent to this is a covered area with a wealth of mature vines covering storage/potting station, oil tank and bin store and whilst following the paved pathway round provides access to the side entrance gate.

Seller's Insights - We moved into 19 Thornbury in 2004, having bought the house from new. Over the past 18 years, it is has been adapted into the perfect family home where we have raised our family in this lovely and quiet area. We sit in a very small development of 18 houses surrounded by green space and instant access to multiple pathways for walking and cycling as well as excellent road links. There is a strong sense of community within Thornbury and Comberton more generally. Within Thornbury, half of the people who moved in with us 18 years ago still live her. We all know each other well and have a WhatsApp group to help each other out. In terms of Comberton, we have enjoyed and taken part in the myriad of activities including the annual pantomime, Christmas carols in the beautiful St Mary's Church and the village show in September, where there is strong competition for the baking prizes! We have always felt that our location gives us the perfect balance of feeling rural but being close to Cambridge. We have enjoyed many weekend cycle rides as a family on the pathways that take you safely into Granchester and Cambridge. We have also enjoyed the short cycle ride to Burwash Manor, its restaurant and many special events that it holds throughout the year, like Apple Weekend or the traditional Christmas Fayre. Our daughters made their first friends at the outstanding Comberton Fun4 2's preschool then went to school/college in Cambridge and enjoyed the short journey either in the car, on a bus or on their bikes.

Our home changed as our family grew. When we had very young children, the large family bathroom was a blessing and their large bedrooms contained copious toys, whilst our en-suite sunken bath was a site of sanctuary! The downstairs study was initially a perfect playroom, adjacent to the kitchen. As the children grew, their large bedrooms enabled many a sleepover, as both easily fit double beds. The study transformed first into a craft room, then a music room and homework hub before becoming the perfect home office. The 2-minute commute has led to an enhanced wellbeing, as have the lunchtime walks along the Drift.

We occupy the largest plot in Thornbury and the garden wraps around the house with its multiple zones. The beautiful mature garden has been designed and built to enable seasonal colour and to encourage a wide diversity of wildlife. In summer, the only sound that can be heard above the hum of bees on the extensive lavender beds is the occasional Spitfire dancing above in the sky; it's the perfect spot for afternoon tea. In addition to the spacious patio that links directly with the kitchen/diner and main living room, we have a vine area to sit out and have a drink, an alpine garden and a swing seat to relax and read. Over the years, we have hosted many parties and family gatherings in the garden. Inside the house, our large kitchen/diner has been the venue of choice for our daughters' friends for cocktail parties. We are moving to the west country, to be closer to family and whilst we will be sad to leave the house and the area, we have forged strong memories and friendships that will endure beyond our move.
