The Dwelling

Thornhill Lodge is a large detached house comprising the original Grade II listed gatehouse which has been fully renovated by the current owners since the late 1990s. With a huge floor area, Thornhill Lodge is a rarity and offers impressive yet manageable rooms with a layout that still means comfortable living . The Sitting Room, beyond the large kitchen / dining room has a wonderful vaulted ceiling with a Jet Master open fireplace at the far end.

The 1st floor is in two 'wings' from the bifurcated staircase thereby with flexible family or guest accommodation. Complimenting the whole, is the lower floor giving a large media room for snooker or as a cinema room.

The integral annexe is ideal as multi generational accommodation or a guest wing or even as an income generating space. This is linked via the utility / rear hallway but has its own front door and two bedrooms with two bathrooms.

Situation

Stalbridge is Dorset’s smallest town boasting a busy traditional High Street with many shops and businesses including post office, butcher, hairdresser, dentist, cycle shop and busy local supermarket. Many businesses are second or third generation family run and help to provide an excellent community which also has a church and primary school. The market town of Sturminster Newton is approximately 6 miles to the south and the larger towns of Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Wincanton are within a 20 minute drive.
