Detached house for sale in Thingley, Corsham SN13

Having been in the same family for over 100 years, we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Thingley Bridge Farm to the market: A beautiful Grade II Listed property in gardens and grounds approaching two and a half acres, in an idyllic countryside setting. The house is full of character and with accommodation arranged over three floors, it provides flexible living space retaining many original features: The Reception Hall with its impressive, beamed ceiling has original flagstone flooring along with ‘plank and muntin’ panelling. A stunning conservatory looks over the beautiful gardens that have been a real passion for the owners. There are three further reception rooms and a Kitchen/Breakfast Room with Aga - a comfortable, social space in which to host and prepare the meals! A large utility room and Home Office complete the ground floor accommodation whilst on the first and second floors there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite washroom, a bathroom and a shower room. Externally, a wide driveway entrance leads to garaging and ample space for parking alongside the walled garden at the front of the house. The gardens are a delight, wrapping round the house they afford a good degree of privacy and enjoy a sunny south and westerly aspect, overlooking the adjoining paddock and farmland beyond. Large lawns studded with mature trees and shrubs, and a meandering stream, provide an attractive backdrop for a large, paved terrace immediately behind the house. The paddock is on the western side of the property, providing attractive amenity space; there is a range of buildings which provide excellent workshop/storage space, and further garaging in the form of a four-bay barn with a secure workshop. In all extending to about 2.4 acres.
