Thornford offers a superb public house, primary school rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, village store and post office, village hall, parish church, recreation ground and its own cricket club. There are also lovely countryside walks from nearby the front door. In addition Thornford station is situated on the Weymouth to Bristol line which includes Bath and links to the Midlands and North. The historic town centre of Sherborne is only a short drive away with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. Sherborne also has a mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property is perfect for those couples or families looking for the village move, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect pied-a-terre or home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local schools.

About this agent
SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields. That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago.

We still pride ourselves on being a local, independent agency with client service, communication and integrity as our core values. Whatever your property interests - residential or commercial, sales or lettings, property management or new homes, you'll find something of interest here.
