Location

Thornton House is located in the popular village of Thornton that is only about two miles from the large coastal shopping town of Milford Haven with marina, Milford Waterfront with shops and restaurants and railway station with national connections. The famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is also close at hand with its miles of coastal walks and stunning beaches to explore and enjoy.

Good road connections provide quick access to the major towns of Haverfordwest (about 7 miles) and Pembroke (about eight miles). Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road is about 38 miles taking you onto south Wales with Swansea (about 64 miles), Cardiff about 107 miles the Severn Bridge and into England (about 129 miles).

Description

Thornton House is a handsome period house thought to date c.1810 (mentioned in 'Historic Houses in Pembrokeshire' as having been built on the footprint of a much older property first described in 1618) that has been re-configured over the years to provide generous and character accommodation space set over three floors. With the large scale and layout of the property there is the potential to sub-divide to provide a self-contained annexe if required (stp – subject to planning). The property sits in stunning landscaped grounds and gardens, including a magical walled garden. Beyond is a pasturefield and areas of woodland. The property extends to about six acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

Accommodation Ground Floor
A pretty glazed front entrance porch leads into the front reception hall with doors leading off to the principal reception rooms. On the right is a living room with open fireplace and French doors that open out to the garden. On the left of the hall is a study, again with French doors to the garden. A doorway leads from this room to a games room with beamed ceiling. The main reception hall leads to an inner hall at the centre of the house. Off this inner hall is a dining room, further living room, shower room and secondary staircase that leads to the first and second floors. At the far end of the house is the kitchen with fitted cupboards, servery hatch to the dining room and a large oil fired Aga range taking centre stage. Off the kitchen is a utility room which is plumbed for washing.

First Floor
The main staircase leads up from the front reception hall to the first floor accommodation that includes 3 bedrooms [ two overlooking the front gardens and one the side courtyard), a dressing room, a bathroom suite and a separate toilet.

Second Floor
Stairs continue to the second floor where there are a further three bedrooms that overlook the front gardens.

Externally
Attached to the side of the house and accessed from an inner courtyard is a large garden room with patio doors to the garden area. There is also another attached room at the rear of the house beyond the kitchen that offers the potential to convert and combine with the house accommodation (stp). Further outbuildings include a double and single garage, two stables, greenhouse and a field shelter. There is a further studio room/office that is located at first floor level (on the left wing as you face the front of the house) accessed from an external staircase.

The property benefits from two walled and gated entrances: the main entrance that leads to the front drive and a secondary entrance that leads to the rear courtyard, garages and stables. There are extensive landscaped grounds including lawns, mature trees, hedges, bushes, shrubs, flower borders, ponds and woodland. There is a separate walled garden in the centre of the grounds that offers an idyllic sanctuary to escape to and enjoy. Beyond the walled garden is a pasture field suitable for grazing. In all, the property extends to about six acres (stms).
