Features and description
A Grade II listed former farmhouse with outbuildings and 1.4-acres of land, situated on the rural fringes of this well-served village. No onward chain.
Situated in an enviable setting on the fringes of the well-served village of Thurston, with a wealth of wondrous country walks close by, guiding you through a combination of woodland, farmland, bridleways and wildlife reserves, Stockhold Green Farmhouse is an attractive early 16th-century Grade II listed cottage, built of traditional timber-frame construction with rendered elevations under a thatched roofline.
The property has been a much-loved family home being under the same ownership since just after the Second World War, and now provides a rare opportunity for a new owner to take advantage of such a wonderful location and grounds, and to potential update and modernise the existing accommodation that extends to 2,400sq-ft.
The present living space is graced with many notable original features to include a fine exposed frame and inglenook fireplaces, whilst arranged over two floors comprising entrance hall with cloakroom, leading to a large sitting room with double aspect and open studwork creating a ’study area’, inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and door to the study/snug, with double aspect and inglenook fireplace.
There is a central/inner hall with staircase rising to the first-floor landing, rear lobby/boot room and utility room, with further access to a fabulous 27’ kitchen/breakfast room, with generous ceiling height and extensive range of base and eye level storage, preparation worktop, 2-ring gas Aga, 4-ring electric hob and oven.
On the first floor is a good-sized landing area with storage cupboards, leading to 4 good-sized bedrooms, all enjoying nice views of the gardens and grounds, together with their own fitted wardrobes and storage. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, low level WC and pedestal wash basin and heated towel rail. There is a further shower room with large shower cubicle, low level WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Outside
The property is approached from the village lane onto a large gravelled driveway, leading to a double cart-lodge and workshop (power and light connected). There is a further driveway accessed via 5-bar gates leading around to the back of the house and outbuildings.
Adjoining the house is a large 76-sq-ft barn which provides excellent storage/’party barn’ but could well be incorporated into the house for annexe purposes (subject to the usual planning consents). There are a further small range of stable/outbuildings The grounds in total extend to 1.4-acres, with a large expanse of lawned garden, mature trees, shrubs and hedging providing a private and peaceful setting.
