Attractive family home with stunning views over the Blackmore Vale.
Description
Thornton Cottage is a well presented family home offering comfortable and versatile accommodation. Originally two cottages, the house is believed to date from the 1800’s. Constructed of stone, in part Marnhull stone and partly wooden cladding and render.
The accommodation comprises a modern kitchen with fitted painted wooden units from Howdens with wood work tops, a range of appliances and a tiled floor. The island kitchen table has views through bifold doors to the garden and views over the countryside beyond. The dining hall also has a tile floor with fireplace at one end of the room. The sitting room has a woodburning stove at one end of the room and doors lead through to the study with french doors leading out to the garden. Downstairs accommodation also comprises a utility room with WC, a boot room and a day room.
Upstairs is a principal bedroom, dressing room, bath/shower room, further five bedrooms, family bathroom, en suite shower room. Two of the bedrooms are attic rooms both with separate staircases.
Outside the gardens are mainly laid to lawn with two ponds being a particular feature. There are a couple of areas in the garden in which to sit and relax and enjoy the views beyond. The house is approached via a wooden five bar electric gate up a gravel drive. There is a garage and parking for a number of cars in the drive.
Location
Thornton Cottage is situated in Moorside in a rural and tranquil location in the Blackmore Vale.
Close to the ever popular North Dorset village of Marnhull.
Marnhull has an excellent range of local facilities including a number of churches, a doctor’s surgery with pharmacy and a variety of shops and two pubs.
More extensive shopping, business and recreational facilities are available in Gillingham, Sturminster Newton, the Abbey town of Sherborne and Shaftesbury.
Access to the A303 is joined at Wincanton to the north, linking with the M3 to London and the wider national motorway network.
Regular services run from the mainline railway stations at Gillingham (London Waterloo) and Castle Cary (London Paddington)
Golf at Blandford, Sherborne, Yeovil, and Dorchester (Came Down). Water sports, sea fishing and sailing are available on the Dorset coast.
National Hunt racing is at Wincanton and Taunton; flat racing is at Bath and Salisbury.
The area is served by excellent schools both in the state and private sectors. These include Hanford, the Sherborne Schools, Leweston, Bryanston, Port Regis, Hazelgrove, Sandroyd and Canford. Bournemouth, Southampton and Bristol Airports are all easily accessible offering connections around the UK, Europe and to other destinations.
