The Property

Set discreetly behind gates within almost half an acre of beautifully established grounds, Thirlston is an individual four-bedroom detached home where architectural interest, generous proportions and exceptional outdoor space come together.

The entrance hallway immediately reveals the home’s distinctive split-level design. A galleried study overlooks the impressive main lounge below, creating an inspiring place to work while maintaining a connection with the heart of the house. The lounge itself is filled with natural light from glazed garden doors and roof windows, with built-in shelving and leafy views adding to its relaxed atmosphere.

A separate living room provides a quieter setting, centred around an inset gas fire. Beyond, the day room is made for informal family life, with a wood-burning stove and direct access to the garden. It opens naturally into the kitchen, where crafted cabinetry, solid work surfaces and a central island with breakfast seating create a sociable space for cooking and conversation. Siemens appliances include two ovens, an induction hob and microwave, while an integrated AEG coffee machine adds a thoughtful finishing touch. A utility room and ground-floor WC complete this level.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a spacious en-suite with a freestanding bath and separate shower. The adjoining fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room, offering flexibility for family life. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate family shower room complete the accommodation.

Outside, a sweeping gated driveway provides extensive parking. Lawns, mature trees, colourful planting, rockeries, raised beds and three ornamental ponds create a garden with interest throughout the seasons. Several patio areas provide inviting places to dine, entertain or simply enjoy the peace and privacy, while sheds and a wood store offer practical storage.
