DESCRIPTION

Thurne Cottage is set well back from the road, nestled within extensive and private grounds, and accessed via electric gates which open onto a tree lined driveway leading round to the house, parking area and garaging. The house presents beautifully throughout, with well-proportioned accommodation complete with high specification finishes arranged over two floors. The property is configured in a ‘U’-shape around a wonderfully secluded and sheltered walled courtyard, which is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. The Coach House/garage on the North-East side of this courtyard could (subject to any necessary consents etc) potentially be converted into additional accommodation, and furthermore the “west wing” offers integrated annexe potential if desired. The gardens are beautifully stocked and have mature borders providing seclusion and privacy.

We have been informed by our client that the property was originally two cottages with a coach house, forming part of the old Gurney Estate.
