Description
noir by david cliff – IMPRESSIVE COUNTRY RESIDENCE WITH ANCILLARY ACCOMMODATION, POOL & 3+ ACRES
Set behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping gravel driveway with an elegant turning circle, Thornton House is an exceptional country residence occupying approximately 3.34 acres in an idyllic village-edge setting. Offering in excess of 6,100 sq ft of versatile accommodation including extensive outbuildings and a self-contained annexe, this outstanding home combines timeless architecture with the space and flexibility demanded by modern family life.
The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, thoughtfully extended to create a spectacular entertaining space flooded with natural light. Featuring a large central island, ample storage, generous dining space and multiple doors opening directly onto the terrace, this room effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. A substantial formal living room, cosy snug, dedicated home office and practical utility rooms provide a wealth of additional living space, ensuring the property caters equally well for family life, entertaining and home working. The planning history confirms the significant rear and side extensions that created the enlarged kitchen, family room and study.
Arranged over two upper floors, the principal house offers seven bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite alongside a selection of spacious double bedrooms and well-appointed bath and shower rooms. The flexible layout provides excellent options for growing families, multigenerational living or those requiring dedicated guest accommodation.
Complementing the main residence is an extensive range of ancillary buildings, including a self-contained one-bedroom annexe positioned above the garaging, offering ideal accommodation for dependent relatives, guests, staff or potential income generation (subject to any necessary consents). A substantial games room, workshop, large detached barn, garden house and further outbuildings provide exceptional versatility for hobbies, business use or additional storage.
The grounds are a true highlight of Thornton House. Beautifully landscaped gardens surround the property, with expansive lawns, mature specimen trees and established planting creating complete privacy. A heated outdoor swimming pool with extensive sun terrace provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining, whilst beyond the formal gardens lies a generous paddock, making the property equally appealing to those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or simply additional outdoor space. In total the grounds extend to approximately 3.34 acres, enjoying a peaceful rural setting with attractive views across the surrounding Berkshire countryside.
Perfectly positioned on the edge of the sought-after village of Brimpton, the property enjoys easy access to Newbury, Reading and Basingstoke, together with excellent road links via the M4, M3 and A34. The area is exceptionally well served by a number of highly regarded state and independent schools, making this a superb family home in one of West Berkshire's most desirable rural locations.
Thornton House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark country home offering scale, flexibility and outstanding lifestyle credentials, all within easy reach of excellent transport connections and amenities.
