Location The property is situated within the village of Thorndon, a popular village with its public house, shop, mobile post office, school and church, and being set around 4.5 miles from Debenham, 13 miles from Stowmarket and 8 miles from Diss. Nearby is the renowned Thornham Estate, consisting of some 2,000 acres and providing 12 miles of beautiful walks through well managed and varied habitats of woods, parkland and farmland. Amenities are not far away with the small town of Eye just some 3 miles distant providing an interesting range of local shops, medical and social facilities and schooling to sixth form level at Hartismere Academy (Outstanding). Thorndon is well located for access to the A140 providing a direct route to Norwich and Ipswich and just across the county border into Norfolk is the thriving market town of Diss providing local and national shopping, sporting and leisure facilities including an 18 hole golf course and driving range. There is a mainline rail station at Diss and Stowmarket providing regular intercity services to Norwich, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street. In addition, the renowned Suffolk Heritage Coast around Southwold is just one hour's drive away.
The Property This is a fine Grade II Listed house believed to date from the late 16th Century with later additions. It displays much of the period character one would hope for including exposed heavy wall and ceiling timbers, large fireplaces, period doors and whilst having been maintained over the years, it has been done in a gentle manner giving an almost untouched feeling.
The Barns One wing of the barn has been converted under a planning consent which allowed the entire barn to be converted as a sperate dwelling. The wing has been let out as a holiday home for the last 12 years or so and produces a net income of around £12,000pa. The remainder of the barn including the tall timber framed section remains as a barn and is used for storage. In addition there is a new barn (8.7m x 5.7m) adjacent to the house providing useful garaging.
Outside The house is set well back from the road with the drive leading past the barn and around a planted area to a generous parking space beside the garage. There are areas of planting close to the house whilst to the rear is the main grassed garden backing onto a rolling landscape. Overall the property is set within 1.4ac.
Services The House - Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. Oil fired central heating. The Cottage - Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. Under floor electric heating.
Directions From Diss, head south on the A140 towards Ipswich. At The White Horse public house take the left hand turn signposted Thorndon and continue into the village, past the Standwell Green turn and the drive is a short way along on the left.
