This attractive double-fronted detached house is situated in a pleasant and small cul-de-sac in the pretty village of Thorncombe.

Although the house was built in 1997, it has been designed in a country cottage style, which has given it an appealing aged look. The property was constructed by the well-respected C G Fry & Sons and was the original show home on the development.

Inside, the home is bright, spacious and is presented to an extremely high standard. First impressions last and indeed the generous hallway with an attractive turning staircase that rises to the first floor will meet lofty expectations.

The ground floor homes several reception rooms and a clean cream coloured kitchen/breakfast room. The three windows provide ample natural light and enhance the working space that follows an ideal and classic u-shape. There is a separate well-proportioned dining room that enjoys a lovely view of the garden and it has double doors that lead to the lounge. This too is a pleasant bright room that benefits from a Woodwarm multi-fuel stove and French doors that open into a delightful conservatory that is a wonderful place to relax, whatever the weather.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.

Outside, there is a very pretty garden that backs onto a field. The garden has curved borders, a sunny patio seating area and a low maintenance gravelled area. There's a wealth of flowering shrubs, spring bulbs, small trees and a fish pond. Just beside the garden is a double garage.
