Thursden House is a distinguished country residence rich in charm and character. Owned by the same family for nearly 48 years, the property has been lovingly maintained and enhanced. Built in the Arts and Crafts style, it features a striking facade with elegant eyebrow windows and offers beautifully presented interiors full of period detail and modern comfort-parquet flooring, high ceilings, open fireplaces, and generous natural light throughout.
The impressive entrance hall, with its gallery staircase and double-height ceiling, sets the tone for the home. The double-aspect drawing room overlooks the gardens through French doors and centres around a handsome fireplace. A garden/music room, also with French doors, provides ideal entertaining space, while a separate study offers a peaceful retreat. The dining room flows into a spacious kitchen and garden room extension, added in 2019, featuring a large island, electric AGA, and space for everyday family life.
Practical additions include a laundry room, boot room, and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the principal suite with dual-aspect views, a dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite. Four further bedrooms, including one ensuite, are served by a stylish family bathroom.
A detached cottage offers excellent guest or rental accommodation, with a sitting room, kitchen, ensuite bedroom, additional bathroom, and private courtyard garden.
The house is approached via a gated driveway with a turning circle, ample parking, and a two-bay garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens include a heated swimming pool, pool house, ornamental pond, woodland garden, vegetable plot, tool sheds, and a gardener's WC. The paddock, extending to approximately 8 acres and formerly licensed as a private airstrip, includes a substantial barn or hangar and is encircled by mature woodland belonging to the property, ensuring exceptional privacy.
With its flexible living space, multigenerational potential, and scope for equestrian or aviation use, Thursden House is a rare countryside retreat-private, practical, and perfectly positioned close to village life.
