3 bedroom detached house

A charming detached cottage style home providing tremendous scope to re-model, situated in arguably one of the best locations on the outskirts of the well served village of Thurston. It also has live planning permission for a first floor extension. All in about one third of an acre.

Estimated to have been built about 100 years ago and significantly extended and much improved in more recent years, Millfields is a delightful and much loved home providing comfortable and particularly versatile accommodation, displaying features including wooden flooring and fireplace with wood burning stove, yet given the exceptional setting and generous plot, still provides great potential to enlarge/re-model.

The accommodation in brief comprises of an entrance hall with stairs off to first floor and door leading through to the kitchen breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of units with built-in appliances and windows to front and side. Double doors open from the hall into the dining room which is an ideal reception room for entertaining with wooden flooring, exposed red brick chimney breast and of particular note, a large box window to side. The sitting room is a comfortable reception with fireplace fitted with wood burning stove and double doors leading through to the conservatory with its wonderful South facing views across the gardens and paddocks beyond. The largest of the two ground floor bedrooms has its own En-suite and also enjoys splendid views to the rear and a family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor (see agents note) is a spacious bedroom with windows to three sides, the main central window offering beautiful views over the gardens and the paddocks beyond. There is a fitted wardrobe, cupboards, En-suite shower and walk-in wardrobe area used as a small study/office.

Outside - Millfields sits just outside the edge of the Nether Hall Country Estate and therefore enjoys access to peaceful country walks through the estate and grounds and woodlands.

Opposite Millfields entrance is an attractive decorative pond. Millfields is approached through a traditional five bar gate opening to a driveway providing ample vehicle parking, turning space and access to a detached garage with loft space and workshop. The South facing gardens are simply a wonderful feature being stocked with an abundance of flowering plants, well-stocked flower beds, mature shrubs and specimen trees, whilst backing onto and affording wonderful views across paddocks. The outbuildings include two large workshops/sheds and a greenhouse. All in about one third of an acre.

Location - Millfields Cottage enjoys an amazing semi-rural setting along a quiet lane on the outskirts of the village, affording beautiful views across paddocks. Thurston is a popular and well served village with amenities including a well-regarded community sixth form college, new Primary School, shops, post office, pharmacy, butchers, garage, train station and public houses.
