A handsome Georgian village house standing in mature grounds extending to just over two and a quarter acres.
A truly exquisite late Georgian house within a conservation area located in the charming village of Thorner. This stunning house dates back to circa 1840 and stands proudly within just over two and a quarter acres of meticulously maintained gardens.
Having been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1964, The Grove offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history and make it your own. The house stands back from the road behind a dressed cut sandstone wall and a belt of mature trees, approached by a gated driveway with turning circle. The Grove is everything you would expect from a grand period home, full of original features with excellent ceiling height and spacious principal rooms, the majority of which overlook the beautiful surrounding gardens.
The property is entered through a magnificent entrance hall, giving way to the three principal reception rooms and sizeable kitchen. Just off the kitchen you will find the original pantry, providing excellent further storage.
Continuing through the ground floor there is a guest bedroom with a sizeable en suite bathroom. A second staircase leads to the first floor and provides the opportunity to create a separate annexe.
The first floor houses five well-proportioned bedrooms, and two house bathrooms. Stairs lead to the second floor which is currently used as a study, with generous eaves storage space.
The grounds are comprised of manicured lawns and magnificent Rhododendrons flanked by belts of mature trees and hedges, with a paddock and kitchen garden to the western side of the property. There are a number of well-maintained stone outbuildings which give way to a wonderful glasshouse with mature grape vine.
