It has also retained many of its original architectural fittings including ground and first floor fireplaces and a mix of internal joinery from the 17th through to the 19th centuries. These include chamfered beams, built-in cupboards and shelving, dado panelling in the hall and a fine plank and muntin screen between the sitting and drawing rooms.
The house is south-facing and built to a three room and through passage plan. This is reflected in the two principal reception rooms and the large kitchen/breakfast room, which are separated by a through hall leading to a charming courtyard at the north-facing rear of the house. The kitchen has an inglenook fireplace fitted with a two-oven electric AGA, bespoke, painted timber units including a central island and Welsh dresser, flagstone floor and original fitted corner bench. Adjacent to the kitchen is the former dairy, which now serves as a laundry and boot room with a door to the rear, brick-paved courtyard.
Three of the house's five double bedrooms face south and both the principal and guest bedrooms have en suite wet rooms. Another with lovely westerly, countryside views has an en suite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms share the family bathroom and it should be noted that one of the bedrooms, which was formerly an apple store has exposed roof timbers that limit the head height in parts of the room.
Outbuildings, garden and grounds
Thorne Farm is approached off a peaceful country lane via a 50 yard long driveway that leads onto a concrete yard in front of the farmhouse. A mix of period traditional farm buildings surround the other three sides of the yard.

Behind the cider house is an apple orchard and adjacent vegetable garden. Backing onto the garden on the west side of the house is a further concrete yard leading to a livestock shelter and agricultural store which has planning permission for a holiday let if someone wanted that option. The formal garden wraps around three sides of the house. At the front is a part-walled lawn with fringing rose borders.
A paved terrace extends around one side and behind the house with lawn beyond with a far-reaching view of open countryside to the west. The property's pasture is divided into two enclosures.
