Throstle Nest is a stunning property sitting in three acres of land and private woodland. The house and glorious garden have given the present owners a tranquil and contented lifestyle for fifteen years. The house was extended a few years ago and the owners lived in a hotel whilst the work took place – The benefits of this are a two bedroomed annexe with bathroom, living room and an attic, two ground floor offices and extra-large storage space, which connects to the main house by a glass corridor. In the main house there is an enlarged bedroom, underfloor heating downstairs, a newly fitted kitchen & a newly fitted utility room. The house is now a large, light flooded and hospitable home, which is both relaxing and elegant. The kitchen is well equipped for the keen cook and ideal for socialising whilst preparing meals, but the owners take every opportunity to eat on the sunny kitchen patio when not entertaining. They appreciate having the choice of two large reception rooms, and love to spend an evening of TV viewing in the comfort of the snug. The owners recall the pleasure they’ve had with gatherings of family and friends including a marquee in the garden, large birthday party with over 80 guests, a Jubilee Party, and a Christmas party inside the house with seventeen people sat down for dinner, also making use of the snooker room for some entertainment. ‘It was a busy and happy time and the house is probably at its best when full of people’
