4 bedroom detached house for sale

MARTIN THORNTON PLATINUM

Shepherds Thorn Farm House is a stone built four-bedroom detached family home, standing centrally within a good-sized plot and enjoying a semi-rural setting overlooking the golf course. It has been a much loved family home for many decades and offers buyers the chance to potentially increase the already sizeable accommodation (subject to the necessary consents and permissions) and update the current layout to suit their requirements. Although the property enjoys a semi-rural setting, it would be a perfect commuter base. The current layout (which could potentially be redesigned) has two entrance porches, inner hallway with a galleried landing, dining kitchen, sitting room, conservatory, large living/dining room, bar/games room and large utility. On the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which have en suites, and the house bathroom. The property has LPG gas heating, majority sealed-unit double-glazing and a septic tank.
