THORNTON HOUSE
Built only 10 years ago and using the finest materials available, this spectacular small estate leaves nothing to be desired and provides extensive family accommodation in ‘as new’ condition throughout.
Although substantial in dimensions, the house has been perfectly designed for modern day living and provides comfortable easily maintained accommodation with every conceivable modern convenience.
The floorplans and video will give a better idea of form and layout, but only upon viewing will one fully appreciate the unprecedented quality and design of this spectacular home.
The house sits on the edge of Thorntonhall village within a private three acre plot, yet benefits from superb views across open countryside.
The pillared entrance gives access to two driveways, both with secure electric gates. The main driveway leads past the gatehouse and sweeps through formal lawns to the front of the main house, whilst the secondary driveway gives direct access to garaging. The large detached three car garage block has a separate garden store, WC compartment and useful attic storage.
